How can developers ensure the accuracy and efficiency of color inversion functions in PHP, considering different color formats and representations?

Developers can ensure the accuracy and efficiency of color inversion functions in PHP by converting colors to a consistent format (such as RGB or HEX) before performing the inversion calculation. This helps to handle different color representations and ensures that the inversion algorithm works correctly across various color formats. 

function invertColor($color) {
    // Convert color to RGB format
    $rgb = sscanf($color, "#%02x%02x%02x");
    
    // Invert RGB values
    $inverted = array_map(function($value) {
        return 255 - $value;
    }, $rgb);
    
    // Format inverted color back to HEX
    $invertedHex = sprintf("#%02x%02x%02x", $inverted[0], $inverted[1], $inverted[2]);
    
    return $invertedHex;
}

// Example usage
$color = "#ff0000"; // Red
$invertedColor = invertColor($color);
echo "Inverted color: " . $invertedColor;
