This question comes specifically from an IB Chemistry HL Paper 1 in May 2018 TZ1, namely question 8.



Which complex has the greatest d orbital splitting?



It gives 4 Complexes $ce[Fe(H_2O)_6]^2+$, $ce[Fe(H_2O)_6]^3+$, $ce[Co(H_2O)_6]^3+$, $ce[Cr(NH_3)_6]^3+$ and it says that they give the colours green, orange, blue and violet respectively.



Initially I thought that the answer would be $ce[Cr(NH_3)_6]^3+$ because it gives the highest energy light, being violet. However, the answer is given as $ce[Fe(H_2O)_6]^3+$, why is this?

          The colour at which the complex absorbs reflects the wavelength of the d–d* electronic transitions. However, this colour is not the same as the transmitted colour (which you see), but is instead complementary to the transmitted colour. Therefore, a complex that appears purple is actually absorbing lower-energy light than a complex that appears red.
