Cool tips. Now I need to wrap my head around the difference between Invert & Compliment – they produce two slightly different colors.

For me its command click, no shift required. Shift command click gives me the inverse.

Thanks for this tip! However, note that the ⌘+Shift+Color ramp click picks a slightly lighter color than going via the menu. Have no idea why.

While playing around, I discovered that ⌥+Color ramp click will set the stroke color. And the combination ⌥+⌘+Color ramp click will set a complement stroke color. Handy!
