Answer 6

most dyes contain a chemical with a chromophore, a chromophore are usually resonance structures in molecules.

Answer 7

these chromophores absorb photons at specific wavelengths which due to the absence of that wavelength form a colour that is observable. Dyes are usually made of organic compounds, although some inorganic compounds can be used as dyes.

Answer 8

Note that the wavelengths it absorbs would have to be in the visible spectrum which is roughly from 300nm to 700nm

Answer 9

Also the wavelengths the chromophore reflects is also what dictates the colour of a compound
