Usually males get their colors before females, but sometimes, depending on what you feed, and how healthy they are, it could take about 2 weeks.

I've never had a guppy with colur at two weeks.
I think it's probably 4 weeks before I ever see colour.. I'm not quite sure.

I would agree with both the above comments...well sort of!!
I beleive that males do get their colour first and I would think about 4 weeks

I agree that the average for guppy fry to get color is somewhere around 3-4 weeks.

I guess it depends on the fish, but i have had some at about 2 weeks. But the average is a little longer.
