Detailed Solution

In an F-center defect, an anionic vacancy in a crystal is filled with one or more unpaired electrons.

These electrons take in visible light and as a result, emit colour.

As a result, in solid alkali metal halides, the F-center is frequently to blame for the appearance of colour.
