It depends on the strain of guppy you have, I've seen some males begin to get their color after 4 or 5 weeks, others 2 - 3 months. Keep in mind, much depends on how fast they grow, if you are serious about raising guppies and want them to reach full size, sooner and be very healthy, you need to do a few things. Water temp should be around 80 degrees, weekly water changes, fry should be fed a little bit every few hours, BBB (baby brine shrimp) or microworms at least twice a day, powdered flake food other times.

The answer is depending on a number of factors, type of fancy guppy, how fast they grow, adn the type of food they are fed, but typically by 4 weeks you should see some color, males first then later the females.

Marble Bettas will change color, but I don't know about marble guppies. Baby Guppies will turn a different color after about a month from birth.
