Sorry if this is explained elsewhere, but under the leaf attributes for plants, the “colored leaves,” does that apply in the fall? Is this about naturally non-green leaves on plants or does it include the fall color change?

There’s a thread somewhere about plant annotations… “Colored leaves” is really meant to track fall foliage, I think.

Change in leaf colour for fall / autumn but also for drought stress. Not for leaves which are ‘not green’ by nature (glaucous, grey, golden, variegated - whatever)
