The transition metals themselves are not particularly highly coloured. Gold is golden, copper is copper but the majority are grey or silver with a greater or lesser degree of shine.
The compounds formed by transition metals (as opposed to those of group one and two metals) are highly coloured and as with all metals they all burn with distinctive flame colours.

What element family does the element iron belong to?
The element family that iron belongs to on the periodic table is the transition metals family. Other elements in this family include cobalt and nickel.
Where are the metals semi metals and nonmetals located on the periodic table?
Non-metals are located on the right side. Transitional metals in the middle area.
Is iron a metal a nonmetal or a metalloid?
Iron is a metal. In fact, it is part of a group of metals known as transition metals, located in the middle of the Periodic Table.
What group or groups of metals in the periodic table often form coloured complexes?

Transition metals
How is boron different from the transition metals?
Boron is a metalloid, not a metal. Transition metals are metals.
What are transistion metals?
A transition metal is a metallic element with the possibility of variable valencies and an incomplete d-shell. The incomplete d-shells allow electronic excitations when bonded to other non-metals liberating a wave length which is generally in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Thus having highly coloured compounds. Dirk Muscat BEd. Chemistry student A transition metal is a metallic element with the possibility of variable valencies and an incomplete d-shell.

elements in groups 3-12 are transition metals
Why are transition metal oxides added to pottery glazes?
Most transition metals form coloured compounds so they can be used in pottery glazes of various colours. E.g weathered copper which is green hope it helps
