Yes, chlorophyll makes the leaf green so if there isn't enough chlorophyll the leaf will display other colors like yellow, orange, red then brown and they eventually fall.
Hope I helped.

Why aren't leaves green in the fall?
The trees lose the chlorophyll, revealing their natural colors. chlorophyll is the pigment which makes leaves and plants green.
What is the matter of plants colour being green?
A plant is green because of the chlorophyll in the it. The chlorophyll is green, but in fall, the chlorophyll just dies away, showing a different color. Faisal
What colors does chlorophyll reflect?
In most plants, the predominant type of chlorophyll reflects green light - this is why most plants appear to be green to our eyes. However, there are other types of chlorophyll that reflect red, orange and yellow light - you see these in leaves that are shed in the fall from deciduous trees in temperate forests.
Why do plants lose their leave in the fall and winter?
They actually lose the nutrients
Why is the nitrogen cycle important for the growth of plants?
Nitrogen actually is a big part of chlorophyll which is the chemical that gives plants their dark green color. During fall plants turn colors other than green because they lose their chlorophyll. So Nitrogen does give plants the dark green color that looks so great. However, if you get too much nitrogen in the soil, then it will start hurting the plant.
Example of plants that contain chlorophyll a?
every plant has chlorophyll but it can be dominant in some of the year and isn't domminant in the fall

What do plants need chorphyll?
Plants don't need chlorophyll, they just use it to turn green. like when leaves start to loose their green color in the fall they are actually loosing their chlorophyll.
Explain why leaves of some plants look green in the summer but yellow or brown in the fall?
plants look green in the summer because the light gives them the energy to make a lot of chlorophyll/chloroplast. But in fall the plants do not get as much sunlight as in the summer. so to conserve energy they make less chlorophyll. . :)
During the fall what happens to the amount of chlorophyll being produced by plants?
The amout of clorophyll decreases. That tends for the leaves to dry out!

What happens to the green stuff in leaves in the fall?
Plants appear green due to the presence of chlorophyll. During the autumn season and all, there is no proper light, means no proper photosynthesis and no chlorophyll. This results in changing of the colours. Some plants appear red and orange because sunlight changes the pigments in the leaves. Some times we sea dry brown leaves which are the rsults of wastes in the plant being "excreted out" somehow.

How do people affect plants?
People affect plants by not watering them which causes the plants to die or the branches to fall off. We can leave a good affect by watering the plants because sometimes there is not enough rain and the plants start to die and fall apart.
Why do the leaves of a plant turn many colors in the fall?
As our days get shorter, plants cannot produce enough chlorophyll (through photosynthesis) to maintain their green color.
