Why are halogens coloured?

Solution
Almost all
halogens are coloured. This is because halogens absorb radiations in
the visible region. This results in the excitation of valence
electrons to a higher energy region. Since the amount of energy
required for excitation differs for each halogen, each halogen
displays a different colour.
