Do you remember a discussion that Polish Fall has more yellow and less red than American fall?
The pictures are just wonderful. My friend's husband is a real artist!

Maybe Poland has a differant kind of soil of the Niż Środkowoeuropejski (North European Plain), also a lot of sanday and dune lands next to a geographical region comprising the four hilly districts of moraines and moraine-dammed lakes formed during and after the Pleistocene ice age. What I witnessed in Poland that the country has a lot of Birch woods (Brzoza Las), next to the general European trees like the Oak, European Beech, Tilia and ofcourse also the conifers, and Pines and Spruces in general.
Especially the Polish Tilia is very beautiful and smells nice. That is one of the great memories of Poland!
I remember the parks and surrounding woods of Warsaw, the border region of Poland with Germany, going to Poznan and the Southern Silezian area's with the mixed farmland with trees.

Jaga, I believe the reason for the lack of red colors is the lack of sugar maple trees. John, yes and now. I remember reading that the same trees which get red color in the US remain yellow in Poland. Somehow red is related, as Pieter pointed out, to the weather - temperature gradient between day and night and the sunshine. |

The other answers seem to have covered the question quite well. About all I can offer is an "in other words" perspective.
I moved from Ohio, with fall colors similar to the New England beauty with many reds, to Alaska with yellows and greens and blacks with some muted reds in the high mountain dwarf willow.
It is indeed the different climate that allows different species of trees and plants to grow, thus controlling the colors of autumn. (autumn and fall are used interchangeably in the US). So if you can imagine the glaciers advancing and retreating over the millennia you can imagine the colors changing as well with the changes in vegetation.
Let us be happy for all of the beauty in this world!
