Well, it really depends on the Uro, some types never get what I would call "vivid". In fact I had one whose colors went away and he turned all black! 
I believe that it generally starts to noticeably happen between the ages of 1 and 2 years old, but I am not entirely sure. I have only kept "dull" lizards. In fact my Egyptian, Mosca, is just starting to turn his adult, incredibly dull, gray/brown... he is about 20 months old.

I started noticing my young male's adult colours coming in at about a year and a half old. Most, if not all, of the colour came in after he was 2 years old.
He'll be 3 years old on Aug. 24th.

Great names on the uro's.I assume you got them from movie stargate?My uro's name is OZ but not sure if it's male,i just figured out if it's a girl I can just put an R in front of OZ and that would be ROZ,still sound's same to uro i'm sure!Mine is about 1 1/2 yrs' old now, it's getting a yellow stripe down middle of back.And it's a mali.
