So the other pigments in the leaves take over. Also less and less sun as winter approaches so no need for as much chlorophyll(greenness) for photosynthesis.
Basically the leaf kills itself because new ones will come again in the spring and it would rather spend more energy on the foundations of the tree and not the sun absorbing leafs.
Most trees suck that chemical from their leaves into their trunks so they can have enough energy store to hybernate for the winter.
some dont make it
So this question suggests that trees that are trying to survive the unnecesary changing seasons are the product of a loving god.
