I was up at Lee Vining / Mono Lake this past weekend. I took Sonora Pass over and did not see any color on the west side until around 9000' though there was color down to ~8000' on the east side. Aspens were still early at Conway Summit; some gold but still a lot of green. The road to Virigina Lakes had some nice color but near the lakes themselves the aspens were mostly bare. Not sure if you are heading that far North but it might be an indication of the current elevation where the color is at.
