Is there a way to adress the backgroung color in Google Sheets conditional formating?

Question

I am making a Roadmap for a project of mine in Google sheets. I want to set the background color of a row to light red if the row is the current date. I do this with conditional formating. When the row is colored my old background colors are overwritten. Is there a way to color only cells that have no manual background color?

The light red row works fine, but the darker red underneath should still be seen.

unfortunately that is not possible. conditional formatting always takes priority over manual colors
