Add all of the muted colors and the multitudes of shades of these basic colors and then you have a fall colored tree. These leaves could be referred to as eye candy. The beautiful scenery created by leaves in the fall is due to lack of sunlight the chlorophyll filled leaves receive in the fall. The lack of food production and the loss of chlorophyll cause the leaves to turn color. The color changes are more predominate in some species than others. Species such as maples, ash, oak, and serviceberries can display bright glowing colors. Also there are trees within each of these species that are drab and not very colorful at all.
