No not really - most tropical rainforest trees are evergreens and keep their color until the leaves fall off. Certain palm trees do not change color until they die, or fall off too. Eventually yes, but Conifers have smaller leaves so they change slower.
what makes the leaves of a canopy tree change
The trees change color in winter (some trees) because the temperature inhibits the synthesis of chlorophyll and therefore the carotenoids or the xanthophyll pigments become in excess in comparison to the chlorophyll resulting in giving different color to the tree.
Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of a tree, which is evident by their green color. The green color is due to the presence of chlorophyll, which captures sunlight to convert C02 to oxygen.
Unhealthy trees are the first to lose their leaves in the fall. Among healthy trees, black ash trees start to change color and drop their leaves first.
The leaves would change colors and fall off if the tree is a deciduous tree
senescence.
Because the leaves are dying or dead when that hapens
They get dried up from the temperature change and loose the ability to hold on to the tree.
its called paint
Certain types of trees, known as deciduous trees, have leaves which will not survive the cold of winter, and therefore, the tree withdraws useful minerals from the leaves in the fall, so that those minerals will not be lost when the leaves die and fall off the tree. It is a process of nutritional conservation. The change in the chemical composition of the leaves causes a corresponding change in color.

"deciduous" means a tree that loses its leaves. This has nothing to do with temperature, it is caused by a change in day length.
Leaves change color because the trunk of the tree stops sending nutrients and water and other chemicals to the leaves. In the winder, the tree keeps all the nutrients inside and doesn't have the energy to keep feeding the leaves, so they change color and die and fall off. Trees with leaves that do not change color just means that they don't have this process and are most likely in a warmer climate or survive much better in cold
