Why do molecules absorb in the visable region of the light spectrum?? Do their structures have something to do with it? I was told it had to do with conjugation, but I am still confused. Please help!

Usually the electrons that absorb visible light are involved in pi bonding. That is why the conjugation is involved. Look at molecular orbital theory for a better understanding.
