SciShow: Why Is Autumn More Vivid in New England?

Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: During autumn in the northeastern US, deciduous trees sport a stunning display of yellows, oranges, and reds. But in some places, like Europe, autumn tends to look much more yellow. So why is it that only certain parts of the world get to see autumn’s finest displays?!
