From my understanding it happens because the cones in your eyes that produce color vision tire out after staring at certain colors for a time, and the remainder try to compensate when you look at something else or the picture changes, in this case it reverting to black and white, and the unstimulated cones produce a negative image. Combining that with the black and white 'luminance' you get the illusion of a normal colored image.
