Leaves change color in the fall because of a complex chemical process that occurs in the cells of the leaves. During the spring and summer, leaves are able to produce a green pigment called chlorophyll, which helps the plant to capture sunlight and convert it into energy through the process of photosynthesis.
During winter, theres less sunlight because we are leaning away from the sun, which lets the tree know that it needs to prepare for winter and to stop making chlorophyll. With less chlorophyll or green pigment, you start to see the other pigments hidden in the leaf, like yellow, orange, and red.
Because cooler weather and shorter days cause the leaves to stop making chlorophyll and as chlorophyll breaks down, yellow and orange start to show up.
As night length increases in the autumn, chlorophyll production slows down and then stops and eventually all the chlorophyll is destroyed. The carotenoids and anthocyanin that are present in the leaf are then unmasked and show their colors.
All leaf colour comes from pigments. These are natural substances produced by leaf cells to help them obtain food. As well as the chlorophyll that makes leaves green, there are carotenes which make them yellow and anthocyanins which create reds and pinks.
