How does the color of a material affects its ability to absorb UV

Answer (1 of 2): OK. Research suggests that when any molecule absorbs electromagnetic radiation in the UV range, the energy of the light causes an electron to go from a low energy state to a higher energy state. It would be the availability of UV levels in a material rather than its outward color
