Answer 1

Goldfish change their colouration as they mature. Don't be surprised or concerned.
Lighting. Fish are not naturally Orange in color, They are enhanced to be Orange by keeping them in low light. Too much light will often make them turn white or green.

Answer 2

The fish is loosing colour because it is loosing condition. Yes its colours will return if you follow the the basic rules of sucessfull fishkeeping which are :- 1 inch of fish must have at least 1 gallon of water. (A goldfish grows to 10 inches so it needs at least 10 gals of water) :- Every tank needs a permanently running 'cycled' filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. Keep to the above rules and your fish stand a chance of surviving reasonably well. Fail in any of the above and I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting sick and will live a shortened lifespan.
