Have you ever noticed how the colors of leaves are variable of the same plant throughout various life stages. Its interesting to note that as a very young leaf it is mild brown in color. Then in middle it assumes light green color and as it is getting mature it is pure green and brighter then darker and finally yellow after it looses its essence of life when it falls off the plant. As it lay lifeless on the ground it turns to brown which was the color in the beginning but now a bit flaky in nature.
When examined in terms of color, we can see it has primarily three colors - yellow, red and blue
Early stage is Brown which is combination of (Red + Green (blue + yellow) ) essentially all primary colors but in varied ratio
Second stage is Light green - ( Green (blue + yellow) + Yellow) when leaf is young
Third stage is Bright green then darker green when leaf is in its prime stage
Finally the leave looses its essence and turns yellow when it is approaching its end and falls off
At the end, the fallen leaf turns flaky brown and mixes with mother earth & becomes dust
Nature has its own way of depicting reality through every part of its creation, be it leaf where the vitality color is green and is lost after loosing life.
The early stage and final stage are both brown in color signifying ignorance prevailing among human at its infancy and old age or towards death.
Hence the color variation speaks volume about life cycle how color range affects or varies with life force.
Nature is the best example for us to learn about life through colors.
