There's a "reverse" attribute (which we already parse and support) that can do this without having to repeat the colors. AFAIK it's well supported everywhere, but I could be wrong.

I wonder if that would make configuring this slightly more pleasant, since it saves the user having to define "oldinv" whenever they change "old".
