Yes. Some history: at some point the people involved with accessibility 
decided that it would be better to not add too many special modes, and 
adding to the zoom the ability to do color effects. If you go to the 
zoom configuration tab, in addition to the ability to add crosshairs, 
you can see that there are some color effects tabs, and that there is 
also some built-in hight contrast mode on the zoom.

So ...

... yes, in theory it would be possible to implement more color 
combinations extending the color effects that the magnifier already 
have. Unfourtunately, there isn't anyone working on the zoom actively. 
It would be needed to someone steps forward and volunteer to keep adding 
features.
