Basic example

Use utilities like invert and invert-20 to control the color inversion of an element:

invert-0

invert-20

invert

<img class="invert-0" src="/img/mountains.jpg" /><img class="invert-20" src="/img/mountains.jpg" /><img class="invert" src="/img/mountains.jpg" />

Using a custom value

Use the invert-[<value>] syntax to set the color inversion based on a completely custom value:

<img class="invert-[.25] ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />

For CSS variables, you can also use the invert-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<img class="invert-(--my-inversion) ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />

This is just a shorthand for invert-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Responsive design

Prefix a filter: invert() utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<img class="invert md:invert-0 ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />
