When do they get their colors?

Hi...I was just wondering when I might expect to see some colors on my male veiled? He is about 4 1/2 - 5 months old now. Even when he is mad at me when I take him out of his cage, his color stays the same light green. Just wondering when he might show me some stripes or spots or something.

6+ months but won't be really colorful for a year.

My veiled is only 3.5 months and he's already showing yellow and light blue!
