Description
Issue
Inverted colours mode is quite useful for reading at night. However, it inverts the hue of colours, sometimes making it more difficult than necessary to read documents. Say there is a red box in the text, a reference such as "see red box for details" will be harder to understand since the red box will be cyan.
Steps to reproduce
Press Ctrl+i on a colourful page.
Expected behaviour
A simple solution to get an "invert lightness only" mode would be to invert the page as usual, then apply a 180-degree hue rotation.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Ctrl+i shortcut and the existing inverted-colours mode in xreader. Implement the requested lightness-only variant using the issue's proposed hue rotation, then verify on a colourful page that colours remain distinguishable while the page is inverted.
