As someone who grew up in Michigan and moved to Colorado. The colors in Colorado do not compare to out east and yet everyone seems to go bonkers over a few aspens.
The biggest difference is the variety of colors, out east there are a bunch of different tree types so you get so many different colors.

It's not just the aspens though, it's the juxtaposition of aspens against the mountain backdrop, which they don't have in Michigan.
No one goes crazy for big patches of Colorado aspens on the plains.

Oh absolutely the color variation is better with oaks and such in the east
But this graph is for density of color changing trees

Nothing like fall in the upper peninsula/around Superior. Probably one of the things I miss about leaving for out west.
The western fall is very pretty and the Aspens and larches are gorgeous, but it is funny how people absolutely lose their minds over a spattering of larches in an otherwise green forest.
