The leaves gradually turn from green to Oranges, reds, and yellows at the end of summer because of the chloroplasts in the leaves. Chloroplasts keep the leaves green in the summer because there is so much sunlight in the summertime, and as the sunlight gets less in the fall time, the chloroplasts get weaker and the leaves turn red, orange, and yellow.
