Jack Dempsey Color male or female

[Pat jennings]

Ok guys, make or female. I’m thinking he’s a male with those blues already and he has a high aggression level. What are your thoughts?

I would say it's a female.
You can see the beginnings of her blue beard.

Will she color up black and everything?

Their coloration is a combo of mood and surrounding. If kept in a lighter tank will stay relatively light.
If you recently got the fish may be settling in still. Also if males are about that will change things.

She could pair up with either if male and passes her test. But the eggs will be infertile with the GT as CA and SA can't cross. Keep an eye out who know what could happen.
