hello ,
A COMPOUND WHICH HAVE UNPAIRED ELECTRON CAN IMPART COLOUR DUE TO d-dtransition [Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺ HAS UNPAIRED ELECTRON
Hence, [Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺ ion is colored wheres
Cu(CN₄] ³⁻ does not have UNPAIRED ELECTRON. It is a colorless compound
I hope you understand very well dear :-)

rohitkumargupta: thanks
