Whats wrong with my maples color

I bought a Japanese maple tree (7 ft) in mid of June 2004 from a local nursery. It is called "bloody Japanese maple". The leaves were very beautiful, bloody red, very bright. I planted it in a sunny spot in front yard. Now the leaves become very very dark, like burgundy color. What is the problem? Is it because of the soil? My front yard soil is clay kind. Can I do something to resume the original bright-red color. Is there any fertilizer that can help?

I went to that nursery to ask the worker there if it is soil problem. I was told soil does not change the color of the leaves.

Thank you very much for your help.
