I believe this theory in combination with the Trichromatic Theory explain what is known about color vision, which states that there are three cone receptors subserving color vision. The trichromatic theory alone implies that it is possible to match all of the colors in the visible spectrum to a linear combination of three colors.

Afterimages appear because staring at one color for long enough will fatigue certain photoreceptors. This will cause them to produce a weaker signal. In the next two slides, the red photoreceptor is fatigued. When the slide changes, the red signal will be a lot weaker so the opponent color will show up which is green. This is evidence for why red and green are opponent colors.
White and black, red and green, and yellow and blue are all pairs of complementary colors, or colors that highly contrast each other when put side-by-side. Because contrasting colors are used in aesthetics and design, I wonder what if there is a connection between the science behind how our eyes process these colors and why such colors appear well-paired through our perception.
