The green, red, brown, and yellow colors in leaves are primarily due to the presence of various pigments. Chlorophyll gives leaves their green color, while carotenoids contribute yellow and orange hues. Anthocyanins produce red and purple shades, often seen in certain plants during autumn. As chlorophyll breaks down in fall, these other pigments become more visible, leading to the vibrant colors we observe.
