In Mountain Lion "invert colors" shortcut not working
I upgraded my shiny new macbookpro to Mountain Lion and the keyboard shortcut for "Invert Colors" (ctl-alt-command-8) stopped working. To re-enable this, go to "Preferences/Keyboard/Keyboard Shortcuts/Accessibility" and check "Invert Colors".
(Apparently too many Windows users were visiting Apple stores and turning on the "Invert Colors" for all the machines)

Thanks for posting this. I was cursing my new install, as it is a feature I'm quite fond of.

Thank you! I use this frequently and was unable to find a support file explaining why the Mountain Lion upgrade disabled this feature.
Furthermore, if you go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts
then select 'Accessibility' on the left and it will give you the option to turn the invert colors shortcut (ctrl, opt, command, 8) back on.
Thanks so much for sharing! I was really confused about why the usual shortcut wasn't working..
I found that I could not use Control-Option-Command-8 (after turning the setting on) when VoiceOver is on. A quick Command-F5 to turn off VoiceOver, then invert, then turn VoiceOver back on.
