Solution
The presence of F-centres in a crystal makes it coloured.
Explanation:
F-centres (Farbe centres) are anion vacancies in a crystal that trap free electrons. These trapped electrons can absorb certain wavelengths of visible light and re-emit the rest, giving the crystal a characteristic colour. For example, NaCl appears yellow when it contains F-centres.
