Hi Rik,
you can use to change the leaves as you prefer also using color corrention texture node.

It's really nice, but the question is: Does random colour correction apply to every leaf on each tree or does it affects whole tree?

Pretty sure it's whole tree unfortunately.

To get a nice variation within a tree you need to have a multi material applied to the leaves which have to be assigned different material ids.

If all the leaves have the same mat id then you need to use a plugin to split them up/randomise them. This process killed my PC every time with various different plugins - it just couldn't cope with so many leaves which is a ballache since most trees tend to have lots and lots of leaves.

All I could do was use a glossy material for the leaves to give them some variation from different reflections depending on the position/orientation of the leaf.
