The colors that were selected are now locked and cannot be painted on.
Additionally, picking up a brush, only picks up colors that are not locked.
Invert, reverses the color settings. The unlocked colors now become locked.
Use Invert, when you want to lock everything except 1 or a few colors.

Click those colors in the requester, or on the screen, and select Invert.
The Reverse option in the menu is the same as using Invert.
When you add new colors, even though they may be locked in the requester,
they will be unprotected until you click Make again, or choose Remake.
