Can I say "She likes the color like me/ like I do." instead of ...as I do?

When we talk about comparison between people, things or actions, we can use "as" or "like", depending on the structure.
"Like" is a preposition which should be followed by a noun or a pronoun.
Example: I'm not like my brother.
"As" is a conjunction which should be followed by a clause (subject + verb).
Example: He's a doctor, _as_ his father was.

I'm not a doctor. I'm an engineer.

Raul, I still think " She likes the color as I do " the ' as' is a relative pronoun because the color is what is to emphasize. Or do you think both explanations are acceptable from different angles of definition ?
