We have special sensory cells that are called cone cells. When we stare at a piece of paper, we see an afterimage of the paper. This happens because our cone cells become fatigued. But our eyes will soon revive and we can see back to normal again.

∙ 13y agoAn afterimage or ghost image is an optical illusion that refers to an image continuing to appear in one's vision after the exposure to the original image has ceased. One of the most common afterimages is the bright glow that seems to float before one's eyes after looking into a light source for a few seconds. The phenomenon of afterimages may be closely related to persistence of vision, which allows a rapid series of pictures to portray motion, which is the basis of animation and cinema. If the viewer stares at this image for 20-60 seconds and stares at a white object a negative afterimage will appear (in this case being cyan on magenta). This can also be achieved by the viewer closing his/her eyes and tilting their head up.
Closing the eye can help achieve a better sense of the color in its own aspect.

If you stare at blue then look away do you see yellow?
Yes, if you stare at blue and then look away, you will see yellow. These are called afterimages and the colors are complementary, or opposites. You see the opposite color because your retina becomes "tired" and when you look at a different background, the tired receptors do not work as well for a moment and the information from the receptors will not be in balance. (Some information from washington.edu).

The green room of a playhouse is a sort of lounge for actors between scenes, acts, or for before or after a costume or makeup change.
