I really hate that the only way to make a single image file display new colors (without uploading new images) via css is the hue-rotate() CSS.

See, I mostly play with color channels, flipping them around, right? The way that the relative luma changes when the channels are flipped is part of the fun. But hue-rotate tries to preserve luma (badly imo), making red turn dark green instead of lime, and that's not necessarily what I want. In addition, it can only rotate, it can't flip color channels. I can make an image with a red-yellow gradient into blue-magenta or green-cyan with hue-rotate, but not from red-yellow into blue-cyan (and vice versa), the effect I get from an RB channel swap that I like so much.

The invert() filter is also weird and muddy compared to a direct color inversion in an image program. Hate it hate it hate it!

I just want to be able to display what I love so much about manipulating color channels without having to upload 100 different versions of the same image... (wimper)
