Not so much color as carapace pattern. Males lose that pattern starting around 3". They also turn progressively uglier with each molt, at least compared to their female counterparts.
I don't know how big that spider is, but I'd just cross my fingers and hope the pattern doesn't fade within the next molt or two.
