Would an atmosphere of supercritical CO2 affect available light?

Many of you may have heard that supercritical CO2 (as in at just the right temperature and pressure to be in between gas and liquid) is a possible alternative solvent for life, like water is for us. But this brings up so many questions. Let's focus on this one for now: What wavelengths of light would go through such an atmosphere? This is important because it affects the color of the autotrophs. Let's assume the star is like our sun just for simplicity.
