bazarr to store 2 copies of subtitles. One with color codes and one without to fix HDR issues

Some devices (although 4k/hdr enabled) do not handle subtitle colors well. An example is all lg oled televisions in combination with internal apps as plex.
When playing an hdr movie, the srt subtitles are extremely white. To the extend it hurts the eye (google for many caes).
I do fully understand this is a limitation of LG internal app; but has not been fixed by lg for the last years. Therefor I'm looking for other ways to fix this. I could use an external player, but the internal apps on the tv work great and effic

Therefor i was really pleased with the bazarr option to embed color codes in the srt files.
Selecting a dark color helps. This ensures it plays well.

However when playing the file on another television, these srt are (obvious) too dark.

Question, would it be possible to add an option behind the color tag that makes and stores a copy srt with the color tags and leaves in the original without color tags?
This would allow individuals to choose and switch as they see fit.
