Autumn tree colors grace our landscapes. The pallet of potential colors are as diverse as the natural world. The climate-induced senescence process trees use to pass into a winter rest period, can present many colors to the eye. The color pigments produced by trees can be generally divided into watercolors, oil paints and earth tones.
