They tint the atmosphere, though in the far infrared, rather than visible part of the spectrum. It doesn't take much "colorant" to have a substantial effect on absorption of radiation.

It doesn't take much dye to have a substantial effect on absorption of radiation (i.e., color).

Because of the radiation which passes through the air, the air's "color" affects its temperature.
