It does take quite some time especially because most of their colour is on their tails and that takes awhile to grow.

It takes 2-3 months, depending on temperature and food. If you don't keep your tank heated, it will take longer. As well, if you overfeed, they will grow quicker, but not the best practice.
It takes platys and mollies all about the same time before they show colour.

I think it depends if it is a male for a female, and what colors there are going to be.
The females stay kinda grey, but the males get their colors really quick. My fry is only 2 weeks old, and the male has already vibrant colors.

It will be a couple of months before you see the color. We had our guppies seperate from the rest of the tank for two months before color developed. When they are big enough for you to see the color, they are also more than big enough to be back in the regular tank with the adult guppies.
