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.

Isn't that just a semitransparent layer on top?

My original inspiration for my color processing system was to fix images with a 'color cast', if you will. Like, if an image has an extreme blue hue because of a camera flash, or something similar.

The more I researched into it and experimented for myself, the more I realized that chromatic offset isn't much different than the C in Y=MX+C. Find the offset and subtract it from the image..

To me it was basically like a fog, that needed a mathematical solution.

Nope, existing color systems can't account for color flare, which is nonlinear.
