Relating Color Absorbed to Color Observed

The complex ion \(trans\text {-}\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]^{+}\) absorbs light primarily in the red region of the visible spectrum (the most intense absorption is at 680 nm). What is the color of the complex ion?

A solution containing a certain transition-metal complex ion has the absorption spectrum shown here.

What color would you expect a solution containing this ion to be?

(a) violet, (b) blue, (c) green, (d) orange, (e) red.
