Example:

I know how to do this with blend modes, but this requires a copy of the text object, another layer and a mask sprite.

Is there an easier way? Maybe some effect which allows to change text foreground color based on background color?

I know this is possible with CSS, but not with the text object.

clickfusion Not exactly. I want to avoid using mask sprites and be able to specify the exact color of the text.
Sami424 Thanks! The Difference effect seems like a solution. However, strangely, it shows correctly in layout editor, but in the preview it doesn't work. Must be a bug..
