Mine has lost all of his color and is a very pale yellow/almost white and has been this way for 3 years.
They do loose their color with age, and stress.
Well I dont think its age because I just got him, and he lost his color within 3 days, but it is most likly stress, because I have a mirrored back and he didn't like it very much! lol He spent his first few weeks in a home that he made towards the back of the tank, but I have noticed now that he now has himself a home facing the front of the tank as well, and he even has a LITTLE bit of color back, so hopefully he has givin up on attacking himself in the mirror. haha I have tried to catch him to move him to my other tank that I am just setting up and establishing (been set up for a few months and only has a few rocks and a damsel at the moment, not even any substrate yet) that doesn't have a mirrored back, but hes not having it. I guess I will just let him go and hope that he gives up attacking the mirror for good. I will keep this post updated if anything changes! Thanks for the info!
