Is it possible to invert colours in a gradient in Illustrator (CC 2014)?

When I try Edit > Edit Colours > Invert Colours on the box that I want inverted, it tells me "Colors Note: No invertible colors found."

I'd like to get this effect around my text, where the background is inverted. Is it maybe possible using a filter? I suspect I might have to move to Photoshop for that...

Edit > Edit Colors > Invert Colors works on gradients.



If you find it is not working, you'll need to examine your object further to determine why your gradient isn't working - are you selecting a mask rather than a filled object? Is there an appearance stack and you aren't targeting the fill properly? Are you trying to invert a raster image? Etc.. The feature does work on gradients.

The most common option to invert gradient is Reverse Gradient option -



You can apply the same gradient as was used in the background and reverse it via this tool.
