NOT SURE

Ag ⁺ ion is small and highly polarizing
Cl - is small in size where as I- is large and highly polarizable. This leads to some covalent character in AgI.

u r right , tushar.

Any compound having more than 20% covalent character is coloured and Ag+ ions polarize the halide ions. thus , The polarisability of ions increase wid size , which gives rise to deeper colours as we go down the group.
