I am under the understanding that it depends on the type of
symbiotic algae that is living in it's tissues. And futher more that the algae loses some of its color in transport. As far as the the "losing color," part I dont know how much water that story holds. I have had many a Frogspawns, and only a couple have changed color after introduction to nice MH lighting, but still almost undectecable. I think what you buy is what you get. I have always tried to find a LFS that uses pretty much the same lighting that I have so I know what it will look like. But I must say yours is a very beautiful specimem. Keep it, Love it Feed it
