Color Inverter
Find the inverted, negative color of any hex.
The photographic negative
Inverting a color subtracts each RGB channel from 255, giving its negative. It is the effect you see when photo colors are reversed, and it differs from a color-wheel complement.
Enter a color and it shows the original beside its inverted version, with codes. Inversion is handy for quick dark-mode experiments and eye-catching contrasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an inverted color?
Each red, green, and blue value is subtracted from 255, producing the photographic negative of the color.
Is it the same as the complement?
No. Inversion works on RGB channels, while a complement is the opposite hue on the color wheel — they usually differ.
Can I copy the codes?
Yes. Both the original and inverted hex are shown and copyable.
