Plants look green because inside the leaves there are chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are green and they are there to help make energy for the plant using the sun to make glucose (energy). In autumn/fall the leaves dont need the chloroplasts because there is less sun so the plant turns red/yellow/brown. A plant also contains xanthophyll and other things that are coloured yellow/red/brown, the xanthophyll is usually covered up by the chloroplast. So when there is no chloroplasts the Xanthophyll can change the leaf colour.
