the grey or light colors is from stress, he won't get color until he's comfortable in his surroundings and/or is breeding.
the dark color on part of his face is from and injury.. it may or may not disappear. it probably will always be there at least in part, i doubt it will ever go away completely.

Looks like hes stressed out, ive seen many fish just like that from stressed out. Im sure this is not permanent color.

This trait is more common in unwell fish, Ive seen it in largemouth bass, bluegill, catfish, guppy, cichlids, angelfish, saltwater angelfish, lots of fish I can named can have this half face marks. Most of time this mark's gone when the fish feel better.
In short words, this is NOT piebald jewel cichlid.
