Usually by the spring, most of the colour is gone, and you have a matted layer of dark brown, partly decomposed leaves. I think the colour would come from new green shoots and wildflowers that poke out before the leaves on the trees completely close out the sunlight...
Paul Dolkos does a convincing "November scene" - in fact I think that's the name of one of his articles on scenicking. I seem to recall that he uses the leaves-in-a-blender approach to achieve the right texture and colour.
