X-ray spectra of many AGNs are dominated by strong absorption-like features at low (0.5–1 keV) energies. Recent progress in modeling AGNs indicate that pure X-ray absorption is unlikely to be observed and the contribution of emission and reflection must be significant. Several such models are shown and compared with what is likely to be observed by two X-ray experiments, ROSAT and ASCA. It is argued that X-ray colors may be useful diagnostic tools in analyzing such spectra.
