This is a Compiz feature. And, of course, Compiz cannot be used in a
proper GNOME 3 environment. This was not the decision of, nor is it
something under the control of, the GNOME Accessibility Team I'm afraid.

GNOME Shell Magnifier should be able to provide this capability (and do
so even at a magnification level of 1x for those who need inverse
brightness/color without magnification). Getting this functionality
fully integrated into the GNOME 3 environment is something that still
needs to be done.

Take care.
