I'm looking for a way to quickly get the inverse of a color into the foreground or background color swatch. Ideally, I would like to use the eyedropper to sample a color from an image, but have the sample be the inverted color. For instance, were I to use the eyedropper to sample #0ff000 from an image, I would like #f00fff to be the color that gets stored in the swatch.
Can this be done? If not, is there some approximation that would get me the same result quickly?

As a hacky solution, you could do this:
- Pick your color using the Eyedropper Tool.
- Fill the image with the color using Alt + Backspace.
- Invert the color using Ctrl / Cmd + I.
- Pick the inverted color using the Eyedropper Tool.
- Undo two times by pressing Ctrl / Cmd + Z two times.
That's two clicks and four keyboard shortcuts. Don't think I could do it any simpler.

There's a caveat to that; you have to have a pixel layer selected in the layers panel... or, at least, it can't be a text layer or (maybe) some other types of non-pixel layers.

@bubbleking, true! But you could use this idea to make an action which will work in all cases if you add a new layer which you remove again afterwards.

Well, it took a bit of finagling to get the eyedropper working properly (see designeasy.co/2018/08/how-to-sample-color-from-image-in.html), and I'd never made an action before, but I made it work, so problem solved!

This can be done with a very simple script:
var color = app.foregroundColor;
color.hsb.hue = color.hsb.hue < 180 ? color.hsb.hue + 180 : color.hsb.hue - 180;
app.foregroundColor = color;
save this as a .jsx file to Your Photoshop Folder/Presets/Scripts/ folder and after PS restart it'll be available in File > Scripts > name_you_gave and you can assign it to a shortcut or write an Action with it. This way after calling the script your foreground color will be changed to an inverted color (in RGB model)
