Abstract

Each fall, the aspen trees in Colorado undergo remarkable changes in color. Depending on the lighting and viewing angle, the colors range from pale to bright yellow. A detailed study of this observation reveals that aspen trees viewed with back-lighting are more brilliant yellow than those viewed with front-lighting.
