Compounds with a lambda max (maximum absorption wavelength) of 314 nm and 380 nm would absorb light in the ultraviolet (UV) region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Since these wavelengths are shorter than the lower limit of the visible light spectrum (around 400 nm), the compounds would not produce a visible color.
In the case of UV-absorbing compounds, they typically do not exhibit a distinct color to the human eye because the absorbed wavelengths are outside our visible range. However, it's worth noting that some compounds may have a faint color in the visible range due to additional absorption or scattering effects that occur at longer wavelengths. Nonetheless, the specific compounds with the given lambda max values of 314 nm and 380 nm would not be expected to produce a visible color and would likely appear colorless to the naked eye.
