If he seems healthy he likely is. These birds get lighter as they get older (generally). The greyest ones will sometimes be pearly white in adulthood. When in doubt, talk to your vet.

when animals like birds mature they change colors.
deers when they are babys have spots to blend in better and grow out of them the more brilliently colored th emore easyer they are to spot by mates... they dont want to have mated whrn there young its also like predature wil see them more and they need to fly away and have experience
my male cockatiel was all grey with bright orange cheeks when he was a baby now at well going on three years his head is yellow with his orange cheeks and his wings are white he is handsome and healthy
as long as your cockatiel is acting healthy i wouldnt worry
he will molt soon to so dont be to shocked as they do this several times a year with bigg temperture changes as well
he is growing up and maturing
