I used to use Gnome, now I use Mate, but they both had (and Mate still
does), options to set your display *look* preferences (Mate has it in
the accessibility / universal access settings.  Where you get a few
choices for low, normal, high contrast, and high contrast & inverse.
Gnome used to do it with Themes.

The idea is that it sets the basic desktop colour scheme for most things
(windows, menus, text foreground and backgrounds), and some desktops let
you set them with RGB sliders rather than just give you some presets.

However, you do come a cropper with some applications that either don't
use the desktop colours in a logical fashion, or their display section
takes their colours from the source of what they're displaying (such as
anything that shows HTML).  Likewise, it's confusing if you're word
processing and including graphics.  The printer is most likely to print
the text black on a white page, because you're *displaying* it in
inverse, not painting it in those colours.  And judging how a graphic
fits into that scheme is difficult, too.
