Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Opponent-process theory explains negative color afterimages by proposing that the visual system processes colors in three pairs of opponent colors (red-green, blue-yellow, and black-white), where when one color is experienced, its opposite color is suppressed. When the cells responsible for a particular color are fatigued, the cells that process its opposite color will become more active, leading to the perception of a negative afterimage.
