Which theory would predict that the American flag have a green, black, and yellow afterimage?
Correct answer: B. opponent process theory
- A. subtractive color mixing
- B. opponent process theory
- C. additive color mixing
- D. trichromatic theory
Explanation
Opponent-process theory pairs red with green, blue with yellow, and white with black, so an American flag's red, blue, and white areas can produce green, yellow, and black afterimages. Trichromatic theory explains color detection through three cone types but not the complementary afterimage pattern.
