Green

Explanation:

In the visible spectrum, which ranges from around 400-700 nm wavelength, the lower wavelength corresponds to the violet side of rainbow spectrum and, high wavelength corresponds to red side. As our solution absorbs highly at around 440 and 600 nm, it means that violet side and red side of the spectrum should be absorbed and would not be visible. the lowest absorbance at around 520 nm corresponds to green color, and therefore, it should be the colour visible from the solution
