The crystal field model predicts magnetic properties of complex ions and explains the colors of these complex

Question:

The crystal field model predicts magnetic properties of complex ions and explains the colors of these complex ions. How? Solutions of [Cr(NH3)6]Cl3 are yellow, but Cr(NH3)63+ does not absorb yellow light. Why? What color light is absorbed by Cr(NH3)63+? What is the spectrochemical series, and how can the study of light absorbed by various complex ions be used to develop this series? Would you expect Co(NH3)62+ to absorb light of a longer or shorter wavelength than Co(NH3)63+? Explain.
