Opponent-process theory suggests that our perception of colors is based on three opponent channels: red-green, blue-yellow, and black-white. When we look at a color for an extended period of time, the opponent process is fatigued, causing a negative afterimage to form in the complementary color. For example, staring at a red object creates a green negative afterimage.
