Is there a way to override how javascript converts complex CSS color names to rgb values when applying them to DOM elements in the document.getElementById(xxx).style object.
For example: setting document.getElementById("colorMe").style.background = "lightblue" will set the "DOMElement".style object with a background = "rgb(...)".
However, setting document.getElementById("colorMe").style.background = "blue" will set the "DOMElement".style object with a background = "blue".
I WANT the second version for all cases of color names, not just simple color names.
I would like to bypass how javascript is converting that color into an RGB value for complex color names. Is this possible?
EDIT: I Am aware there are ways to convert back and forth, I am just trying to bypass how javascript seems to be converting them "for me"... I'd like it to stay as "lightblue", and the browser seems to handle lightblue as a background color just fine.
