 * Hi Litespeed
 * I am using some lazy load css to avoid the grey background that shows a splaceholder
   before load of images, like so:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       /******** Litespeed Cache - Articicial Lazy Load ********/img[data-lazyloaded]{    opacity: 0;}/******** Litespeed Cache - Transition (Delay) Lazy Load *********/img.litespeed-loaded {    -webkit-transition: opacity .1s linear .1s;    -moz-transition: opacity .1s linear .1s;    transition: opacity .1s linear .1s;    opacity: 1;}/******** Litespeed Cache - Ignore Lazy Load (logo and such) ********/.instant-load img[data-lazyloaded] {    opacity: 1;} 
       ```
   
 * where last bit loads some images immediately. I wish to use this for logo fx.
   However, that brings back the grey background. How can I avoid the grey entirely,
   yet have few images load immediately?
 * Where does this grey get it’s grey colour temporarily. Can I recolor to WordPress
   variable base like this:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       background-color: var(--wp--preset--color--base);
       ```
   
 * and what would the hook be?
 * thx

 * Thx man – simple and cool. I snatched the transparent that is actually referenced
   below the form …. It beats me why the transparent is not the default…. Just wondering,
   but thx!
