Should I use (に or で) for the following lines? Since they are time periods, I
thought に would be correct, according to [this
page](https://www.sljfaq.org/afaq/de-ni.html "section header labeled Times"):

> Times
>
> The particle ni is usually used with times:  
>  Go-ji ni kaerimasu(５時にかえります), "I'll go home at five o'clock".  
>  The particle de may also be used to show the time when something finishes:  
>  (授業は５時で終ります) "The class finishes at five o'clock."

1-3節目はこの形式で書かれています。

> 赤は。。。/ 夕日の暖かさ / 色づく秋の葉 / 何とか何とか何とか

Concluding stanza:

> On a serene winter's eve / on a spring morn / on a hot summer's day / on a
> quiet autumn afternoon  
>  Red is the color of life.

最後のスタンザ [節]

> 穏やかな冬の夜に / 春の朝に / 暑い夏の日に / 静かな秋の午後に  
>  赤は生活の色である。

question
grammar english-to-japanese
"~Ni" or "~De"?
に is correct for that type of time expression (夏の夕暮れに). で in 5時で終わる can be
understood as 5時になったら終わる, but you can also use 5時に終わる. The nuance is slightly
different (に sounds like it was planned to end at five, whereas で sounds like
maybe the ending time depends on eg how much work is completed by that time
etc).

answer
Here's what my reference book (A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar) has to
say:

Xで can indicate that something lasts for a period of time up to X.

に can be used in place of で in this case. However, the nuance is different.
When で is used, the nuance is that the event lasts up to X. When に is used, it
simply indicates the time when X ends.

Further, when X indicates a duration of time, で indicates how long an action
took, and に is ungrammatical.
