Why do the leaves of deciduous trees change color?

REAL TREES 4 Kids! - Frequently Asked Questions
Since this site talks about conifer trees, we don't usually answer questions about deciduous trees. However, this is a question we get a lot! You may know that the green of deciduous leaves comes from the chlorophyll that is needed to make food for the tree. What you may not know is that there are other colors "hidden" in the leaves. They are hidden in the spring and summer because the chlorophyll is busy doing its job and the green color sort of takes over.

Why do leaves change color in autumn?

Frequently Asked Questions, - WisconsinForestry.org
Less daylight and cool (but not necessarily freezing) fall temperatures result in less production by leaves of green pigment (chlorophyll). Consequently, other leaf pigments like yellow (xanthophyll), orange (carotene) and red (anthocyanin) become more prominent. The intensity of color in a leaf depends on the amount of sugar stored in the leaf and the amount of autumn sunlight it gets. Brown pigment (tannin) remains after all other pigments have disappeared.

Why trees change color in the Fall?

Artistic Tree Care
In many parts of North America and the world, people enjoy one of nature's finest shows: Fall foliage. Leaves can be thought of as small factories containing raw materials, products and by-products, all in chemical form and some with color. As the leaf is "abandoned" by the tree, the green chlorophyll--the dominant chemical found in most leaves--is broken down and "recycled" by the tree, leaving behind other-colored chemicals. Supply lines to the leaves also become clogged.
