Using CSS alone, is it possible for a deeply subordinate html element's class, to effect the style of the document.body element.

<body>
    <div>
        <div>
            <div>
                <div class="someStatus"></div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>

When this deeply embedded div's class changes, I'd like to change the background color of the document.body element (as an example).

I know how to do this with JavaScript. However, is it possible using CSS exclusively?

for background only, yes we can do some trick ... but for more general CSS, it's impossible – Temani Afif Jun 21 '18 at 21:14
