   Stick it on SciTEBase which is unfortunately huge as it is easy to access everywhere.

   It's difficult to invert light consistently: colours near to white/black are commonly difficult and SciTE uses them a fair bit. For example, check Perl examples (like lexilla/test/examples/perl/perl-test-sub-prototypes.pl) to see how pastel background colours look. Its likely gamma curve related but may need special cases light colours.
