Another question is why bi-color LED requires inverting voltage across it :). Never seen such.

Also, not all LEDs sustain reverse voltage. Some break down at around 5V. Worse yet, most datasheets don't provide such information.

Look up any 2 lead bi-colour LED :-) it's literally how they're designed to be operated.

I'm really wanting to use the H-Bridge to learn about them; aye, I could go with driver ICs etc, but I'm on a learning curve and would prefer to learn how things operate before using ICs for everything. For example up until now I've gone with transistor outputs for every LED channel, and it's only now I'm using a multiplex IC to drive them instead :-)
