How to find a certain color's negative counterpart?

lets say I wanted it to be bright red with its RGB value of 196, 40, 28 but inverted so it looks like Cyan-ish so how to determine it?

Take each of the RGB values, and then invert them, you can do this like this:

local Color = script.Parent.Color

--Inverse Color's Components
local r, g, b = 0,0,0
r = 255 - Color.R
g = 255 - Color.G
b = 255 - Color.B

script.Parent.Color = Color3.fromRGB(r,g,b)

This should work, I believe. I tested it with your given colors, and it gave me a color like this:

I’m not sure how exactly what you meant, but usually, I use this image as a reference:

or just basically use software that can invert colors like on Paint .NET for example.

blue this time, 13, 105, 172 it should be yellowish like the reference image @DrMaher showed to me

Oh, my bad sorry, I forgot that the Color3 values aren’t in RGB by default, so you need to multiply each of them with 255 before you subtract

local Color = script.Parent.Color

--Inverse Color's Components
local r, g, b = 0,0,0

r = 255 - (Color.R*255)
g = 255 - (Color.G*255)
b = 255 - (Color.B*255)

script.Parent.Color = Color3.fromRGB(r,g,b)

You can also get a color’s complimentary color like this:

local function complimentaryColor(color3)
    local h, s, v = color3:ToHSV()
    h = (h + 0.5) % 1 --add half of the hue wheel, then wrap around 1
    return Color3.fromHSV(h, s, v)
end
