Autumn is a magical season when trees dress up in a thousand colors before letting their leaves fall. In this coloring page, you can discover different types of leaves, each with its own special shape. Some belong to the maple tree, easy to recognize with its pointed lobes. Others come from the oak, with rounded edges that look like gentle waves. You'll also find chestnut tree leaves, spreading out like the fingers of a hand, and even compound leaves, made up of several small leaflets arranged along a stem.

But why do leaves change color? In spring and summer, they are green thanks to chlorophyll, a pigment that captures sunlight to make energy. When the days get shorter and temperatures drop, chlorophyll slowly disappears. That's when other pigments appear: carotenoids bring yellow and orange shades, while anthocyanins add reds and purples. Together, they turn autumn landscapes into a natural painter's palette.

In this coloring page, you can bring the season to life by filling the leaves with sunflower yellow, pumpkin orange, garnet red, or hazelnut brown. Or you can let your imagination run wild and create a purple, turquoise, or even golden leaf! Now it's your turn: color these autumn leaves and turn this page into a beautiful forest walk full of colors!
