Correct, like the already existing 'inverted.

It works as a standalone markup, too

How about:

\markup {
  "A6/5"
  \vcenter
  \override #'(size . 1.5)
  \override #'(fret-diagram-details . (
                       (finger-code . in-dot)
                       (paren-padding . 0.15)
                       (fret-label-horizontal-offset . 0.5)))
        \fret-diagram-verbose #'(
          (open 1)
          (place-fret 1 5 1 red inverted default-paren-color parenthesized)
          (place-fret 2 7 4)
          (place-fret 3 6 2)
          (place-fret 4 7 3)
          (open 5)
          (mute 6))
}
