俺也糊涂了,好像没听说有“反黑”字的,“反白”倒经常用。如果说“反黑”是“black on white”,那不就多余的?因为我们平常写字通常都是白底黑字。反黑到底是什么?

没听说过“反黑”,我想也许是用很粗的(heavy)字体。

highlighted black on white

反白 = highlighted white on black
反黑 = highlighted black on white

應該是這麼說的,反正「反」的文字就是 highlighted,所以「反白」只能是「黑底白字」,「反黑」也只能是「白底黑字」了。

To use 'reverse black', you say 'Larger and wider headings, reverse black.
