Its a molecule that is absored by exsiting an electron from ground state to a higher excited state, in the range of a visible spectrum

chromophore is functional group which is responsible to exhibit color.

The chromophore is a region in the molecule where the energy difference between two separate molecular orbitals falls within the range of the visible spectrum. Visible light that hits the chromophore can thus be absorbed by exciting an electron from its ground state into an excited state.
