Detailed Solution

colour of the complex depends on the nature and charge of metal ion, strength of ligand.

$\begin{array}{l} \underset{green}{{[Ni {(H_{2} O)}_{6}]}^{+ 2}} (aq) + en (aq) ⇌ \underset{paleblue}{{[Ni {(H_{2} O)}_{4} (en)]}^{+ 2}} (aq) + 2 H_{2} O \\ \underset{}{{[Ni {(H_{2} O)}_{4} en]}^{+ 2}} (aq) + en (aq) ⇌ \underset{blue / purple}{{[Ni {(H_{2} O)}_{2} {(en)}_{2}]}^{+ 2}} (aq) + 2 H_{2} O \\ \underset{}{{[Ni {(H_{2} O)}_{2} {(en)}_{2}]}^{+ 2}} (aq) + en (aq) ⇌ \underset{violet}{{[Ni {(en)}_{3}]}^{+ 3}} (aq) + 2 H_{2} O \\ [Cr {(H_{2} O)}_{6}] {Cl}_{3} is violet; [Cr {(H_{2} O)}_{5} Cl] {Cl}_{2} . H_{2} O is grey - green \end{array}$
