Is there any way to get Firefox to use the native color picker? (sopuli.xyz)

I use KDE Plasma, and much prefer the KDE color picker over the GTK one that Firefox uses, with input type=color.

I know that I can set GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 to make Firefox use the native file picker, is there a way to make it use the native color picker as well?

I know there probably isn't a way, but I figured it's worth a shot asking.

I'm not a dev, but I'm wondering if the 'Plasma Browser Integration' package has any influence on the picker? Or maybe there are GTK app settings in play.
Just a thought.
It really annoys me that Firefox is not more integrated in KDE than it is.

I have the plasma browser integration. It adds an item to “Share” in the context menu (for use with KDEconnect etc) and integrates Firefox with the media player.

Media integration should be done via mpris which ff does natively now, so that's no longer done by the plasma addon
