autumn colors

Deciduous display season

The yellows, oranges, and reds that leaves turn before falling from deciduous trees.

The phrase evokes the visual spectacle of this seasonal change: We drove through Vermont to see the autumn colors.

The British equivalent is autumn colours; Americans also say fall colors.
