Notice how the <code>$blue-invert</code> is now black instead of white, based on <code>findColorInvert(#72d0eb)</code></p>
As <code>$blue</code> has been updated, and since <code>$blue-invert</code> is automatically calculated with the <strong>function</strong> <code>$blue-invert: findColorInvert($blue)</code>, the <code>$blue-invert</code> is now black instead of white</p>

<p>
For colors that have a luminance close to the <code>0.55</code> threshold, it can be useful to <strong>override</strong> the <code>findColorInvert()</code> function, and rather set the invert color <strong>manually.</strong>
<br>
For example, this shade of <span class="color" style="background: hsl(294, 71%, 79%); float: none; height: 16px; width: 16px; margin-right: 0; vertical-align: middle;"></span> purple has a color luminance of <code>0.5529</code>. It can be preferable to set a color invert of white instead of transparent black:
