I think if wavelength increases (e.g. 1 x 10-9 is a larger wavelength then 8 x 10-9) it means the wavelength is on the side of the spectrum with the red and orange colours. The other side of the spectrum, the shorter wavelnegth values, makes the molecule bluey/green.
I think that kind of explains it.
