leaves change color in the fall (autumn). they change color because the chlorophyll drains out, cell death occurs and that causes the leaves to change color. it is not healthy for a leaf of a deciduous tree to maintain chlorophyll for more than a year. The chlorophyll is something in a leaf that absorbs all of the colors of the rainbow , red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, violet, but not green. The chlorophyll keeps the plant green.
