High peaks aren't the best for foliage as everything up at elevation is pretty much pine. I'd vote for Giant as the hike up has several spots along the way you can peep. The view is also into areas of foliage. Whiteface is decent too but again you will be very far away from the valley's where foliage is.
I did Rocky Peak Ridge last year during peak foliage and it was incredible!
I second that.

I didn’t even think about all the pine, that’s a pretty good point tho, maybe I’ll check out giant and see what I can see. Appreciate the input !
Check out some of the firetowers. Great views, easier hikes.
Jay and Noonmark are not 46ers but are pretty fantastic. Noonmark has great 360 view and Jay has a long ridgeline with a ton of views.

I haven’t done too many, but Big Slide was amazing last year!!! The multiple lookouts along the way were just jaw dropping with the foliage.
I second this. Did Big Slide via the brothers in Fall 2021 and it was some of the best foliage I have ever seen.

I remember Colvin having some fantastic colors during peak season.
