Leaves turn green in fall

In fall, leaves the leaves turn from green to red, orange, or yellow, right?

October 21: this Japanese maple that used to be burgundy is  now turning green.


I know I have seen Japanese maples with red autumn leaves.  Do they first turn green and then turn red? Or do certain ones turn green and certain other ones turn red?

November 2: This Norway maple that used to be burgundy is also turning green.



November 9: Here is the same Japanese maple I photographed on October 21.


It's hard to compare with the October 21 photo because that one showed fewer leaves, while this one shows more of the overall tree.

Meanwhile, also on November 9, this Japanese maple is looking red, indicating that different Japanese maples are different.
