Solution
The colour of coordination compound depends upon the type of ligand and dd transition taking place.
H2O is weak field ligand , which causes small splitting, leading to the d-d transition corresponding green colour, however due to the presence of (en) which ia strong field ligand, the splitting is increased. Due to the change in t2g - eg splitting the colouration of the compound changes from green to blue.
