In autumn many leaves are red and yellow with their
waste substances. But where is the green colour from spring and summer? The
green colour is “chlorophyll” (that’s not a Cornish word – it’s from Greek
words for pale green and a leaf). In autumn it is broken down and it
disappears. Remnants of green mixed with red make light and dark brown colours.
Red leaves reflect red light and absorb other colours of light. On the other
hand, green leaves absorb red (and blue) light and reflect green light. There
is not enough sunlight in winter, so the red and yellow and light brown and
dark brown leaves fall to the ground. Soon the trees will sleep.
