Copper(II) complexes absorb visible light through transitions between d orbitals, and the energy of those transitions depends on the ligands arranged around the metal. That is why copper salts and copper complexes are coloured at all, and why different copper complexes are different colours.
A plain peptide solution is colourless. GHK-Cu is blue because the copper is there and because the peptide holds it in a particular geometry.
If the coordination environment changes — the copper is displaced by a competing ligand, the peptide degrades, the pH moves far enough to protonate a coordinating nitrogen, or copper comes out as a hydroxide — the absorption changes with it. A paler solution, a shift in shade, a green cast or visible cloudiness are all signs that the species in the vial is no longer only what you put in.
This is not an analytical method and does not replace one. It is a free observation that tells you when to run the analytical method.
Note the appearance at reconstitution and at each use: colour, clarity, any particulate. A record of normal appearance is what makes an abnormal appearance recognisable, and a solution whose history is undocumented cannot be judged by eye at all.
Storage conditions and light exposure are the variables most likely to be behind a change, and they are covered separately.
Colour will not reveal partial degradation of the peptide while the copper remains coordinated, nor low-level impurities, nor loss of potency within a visually unchanged solution. For those questions the answer is HPLC and mass spectrometry, which is what the batch documentation covers.
