I have a young tree.. Been sprouting new growth.. But notice recently down leaf colour.. Why might it be.. Disease or over watering or underwatering.. Been a dry 3 weeks and water with the grass Echt 2 or 3 days..

I presume you mean the leaf colour is brown, and the last sentence is that you water every 2 or 3 days?
However, it's probably getting nowhere near enough water. They need loads, especially if it's recently planted, and even more so if potted, or if it's in the ground with lots of other planting. If potted, moving it into shade will help a bit.
Firs of any kind naturally go brown further in towards the trunk too - that's how they grow. It's also why it's hard to prune them, unless it's done carefully from a young age the way commercial growers do it.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
