senescence.
The change in color of leaves is due to the decreasing levels of chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for their green color, as a result of shorter days and cooler temperatures. This reduction in chlorophyll reveals other pigments in the leaves, such as carotenoids and anthocyanins, causing the leaves to change colors.
The change in the color of tree leaves in fall is actually a chemical change caused by the breakdown of chlorophyll. The colors we see are due to pigments that were present in the leaves all along, but were masked by the dominant green color of chlorophyll during the growing season.
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.

because,they lose the chlorophyl
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.

know yow really cant. but Levis Chang's on their own
Deciduous trees change the color of their leaves before they fall off in autumn.
Yes, tree leaves can change color due to temperature. Cooler temperatures signal to the tree to stop producing chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for the green color in leaves. This cessation of chlorophyll production allows other pigments, such as carotenoids and anthocyanins, to become more visible, resulting in the vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows seen in fall foliage.
