Last night I came across this relatively useless but fun little Mac keyboard trick.
Pressing the following key combination does a cool color reverse on your display:
Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+6+8
I’m not sure what the utility of this could be, but it’s a fun little trick. Actually, I could see using this if working in a dark room in order to reduce the brightness of the screen (I know, you could just adjust the brightness as well). I might also invoke this if looking at photographs for use in promo materials–postcards for shows or theatre programs or websites–to see if a particular picture might look more startling or powerful in negative.

It’s actually an accessibility option (you can see the others by going to the System Preferences->Universal Access panel). But it’s there because for people with some kinds of optical disability, white text on a black screen is easier to read.
