I’ve seen most of the trees (at least in Canada) change color in autumn to an orangey, I’ve heard it has to do with better absorption of sunlight waves that change during this time of the year.
But why they begin to change from top to bottom? I would think the inner ones or lowest ones would change first since they have less access to sunlight than the top ones.

The leaves are generally to fragile to survive winter so it’s better for a tree to reabsorb what it can from them and cut them off as daily sunlight dimishes in autumn, the top ones are the hardest to get sap to, that’s probably why they are the first to go.
