The experience of color is a function of how a particular light stimulates the various types of cones. The opponent-process theory suggests that pairs of opposing processes are responsible for color vision. One process is stimulated by green and inhibited by red and vice versa. Another process is stimulated by blue and inhibited by yellow and vice versa. A final process is excited by white and inhibited by black and vice versa. Each theory explains different parts of vision.
