Yellow/Gold Fall Color in Trident Maple?

Hi all. I've been a visitor to this forum for quite some time, but have never posted a thread. A friend and I thought this situation warranted an inquisition. A Trident maple in my collection, which was originally imported from Japan, has consistently produced only yellow/gold fall color. A friend of mine, who's Trident was domestically grown, has experienced the same.

We've been pondering on whether this is a new/different strain of Trident? Our other deciduous species have produced their normal fall tones, so we have not attributed this to our growing environment. We have both grown Tridents in the past that produced what I consider, the normal red/orange fall color. I have attached a photo of my friend's Trident, which was taken a couple of weeks ago.

Has anyone else experienced this? Thoughts?
