69. Cu⁺ is colourless but Cu²⁺ is coloured. Why?

Transition element exhibit colour due to d-d transition. d-d transition is possible only when d subshell have unpaired electron. Cu⁺ has completely filled orbital: [Noble gas] 3d¹⁰, where as Cu²⁺ has partially filled orbital : [Noble gas]3d⁹. Hence Cu⁺ is colourless but Cu²⁺ is coloured.
