Leaves look green because of a pigment called chloro, which absorbs sunlight and drives photosyn. In autumn the days grow shor and the tree stops making this pigment. Yellow and orange colors that were always pres in the leaf finally become visi. Some maples also build red pigments from sugars trap in the leaf.
