In the summer, working late into the night, I feel most comfortable with my windows open and to avoid attracting insects, I set macOS to invert colors and also have Flux running. The effect is a red on black screen. My syntax color scheme is always set to black/grays, so that simply changes to different shades of red.

Flux, which is usually stylized as f.lux, is a third party application that automatically tints your screen amber at evening. Some people use it to be able to fall asleep more easily after work.

Unfortunately Flux on iOS requires a jailbroken device and Apple decided to switch off Flux’s built-in pendant called Night Shift when colors are inverted. So I’m looking forward that Dark Mode works with Night Shift to give me that submarine mode on iOS.

For Linux users, redshift/gtk-redshift does the same thing and is OSS, used it for years with no issues.
