because they have chlorophyll which comes from the sun so during fall and winter, they don't have as much sun so the leaves turn brownish

Leaves are green because of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment found in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts in the leaves.
Simply, plants are green because they have green chloroplasts (organelles that carry out photosynthesis).
