In the compound [Cu(NCCH3)]+ BF4 , Copper is in +1 oxidation state.
Copper in (1) oxidation state compounds are colourless or usually white.
Hence this will be a colourless compound.
The elemental copper's electron configuration is [Ar] d₁₀S₁.
S₁ means it's d - shell is completely filled.
d electrons of transition metals give them their color.
Since d₁₀ complex has no where for electrons to be excited because it is completely filled, all the light wavelengths are reflected giving a white compound.
