Change <canvas> color using CSS?

canvas, colors, css, jquery

Solution

Yes, I don't know what the issue you are running into but I have a working jsfiddle here

<canvas></canvas>​

canvas {
    background: #cdcdcd;
    width:200px;
    height:200px;
}​

Problem

Is there a way to change the color of the HTML5 element using CSS instead of JS? I need to customize qTips tooltip pointers using custom LESS CSS rules which I can't refer to using jQuery.
