Answer:The opponent process theory explains the perceptual phenomena of negative afterimages.

Explanation:A theory of color vision (the other theory is Trichromatic Theory). States that sensory receptors arranged in the retina come in pairs: red/green pairs, yellow/blue pairs, and black/white pairs. If one sensor is stimulated, its pair is inhibited from firing. The theory explains color afterimages.
