That is why I don't know what formula to propose for inverting a color. But we can find that out a reasonable one. > i.e. the monitor settings, cultural background To recommend or specify a set of color values is to presume that it is possible to get useful results without worrying about those sources of variation. (And personal taste, too.) Emacs does specify a default set of color values, and it must do so. Thus, Emacs must make that presumption. So it is ok to try another solution which also depends on that presumption. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
