About this tool
Inverting a color flips each RGB channel (new = 255 − old), producing its photographic negative. It is useful for dark-mode conversions, creating striking accent pairs, or just exploring opposites.
The tool shows the original and inverted colors side by side so you can compare them directly before copying the result.
