Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Most simple organic compounds, having few multiple bonds and few functional groups, do not absorb visible light, and thus appear as being colorless or white. More complex molecules, having several multiple bonds that are conjugated appear as being colored.
Detailed explanation-2: -The number of valence electrons which are present in the outermost orbit of a compound decide the colour of light. These electrons absorb a certain portion of visible light spectrum and produce a colour that is complementary to the colour of the light absorbed.
