Autumn Leaves Leaves contain pigments that give them their color. During autumn, deciduous trees stop making the green chlorophyll pigment. Chlorophyll masks the other pigments present in the leaves, so when it breaks down in the autumn, we get to see the other pigments that cause the red (anthocyanins), orange (carotenoids), and yellow (xanthophyll)!
