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?

#2

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.

Could you give me the Color3 Value?

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
