Opponent colour theory holds that colour is encoded as

  • A.three entirely independent channels carrying red, green and blue
  • B.a single channel carrying all the colour information
  • C.separate channels for each individual wavelength present
  • D.red against green, yellow against blue, and light against dark

Answer: D

Correct answer: red against green, yellow against blue, and light against dark

The three cone signals are recombined in the retina into one achromatic and two chromatic opponent channels. The arrangement explains a great deal that trichromacy alone does not: why there are four unique hues rather than three, why no colour is reddish green, and why afterimages and simultaneous contrast take the complementary form they do.
