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.

The purpose of Linux is to be a free and open source OS kernel on top of which free and open source software can provide whatever user experience they want to provide and users are free to pick one.

But they're not free to literally copy an existing interface from a big $$$ corporation...

Again, I use text based input as the main interface. Not RGB. Not HSL. I literally name my colors with text.

Want human flesh, type "human flesh", not some unintuitive #RRGGBB crap.

I've read a lot of youre comments trying to understand youre meaning here, but are you trying to say you want to represent all 16 million colors of a 24 bit color?

And also somehow in a way that not extremely subjective to the user?

Ngl I'd love to see this as a product, and definitely keep me updated if this software ever has a usable demo

It's a prototype program, take it for whatever it is...
