I think it is something that could be described as

	the value of each member of the inverse triplet is #FF minus
	the value of the corresponding member in the original triplet,
	that is "computes the complementary color"

but I fear that other things impact on the perception of the colors,
i.e. the monitor settings, cultural background (don't be surprised, it
is human perception after all, and it's strongly influenced by
psycological components including the name you give to colors, see the
Himbas in Africa, and Japan - I think that they see shades of grue
