autumn orange comes from carotene and yellow from xanthophyll, which is itself derived from carotene. both become visible when chlorophyll stops being produced by the tree as it prepares itself to preserve water during the winter months.

Some insect on a leaf

his leaf also shall not wither by jangkwee

He shall be like a tree

Planted by the rivers of water,

That brings forth its fruit in its season,

Whose leaf also shall not wither;

And whatever he does shall prosper.

Psalm 1:3
