Impossible or forbidden colors aren’t the only colors the brain can see although the eye cannot produce them from the visible spectrum. For example, chimerical colors are imaginary colors that may be seen by looking at a strong color until cone cells become fatigued and then looking away. Looking toward a white object results in an afterimage composed of the complementary color. However, the opponent process may explain other surprising colors.
