my male guppy is strange....?

I came home today, I left friday at 5 to go to claire. Upon arriving back home today my guppy, which was multi color blues and yellow w/ spots (fancy guppy) has color loss. It's like his color has faded. He wasn't like this friday when I left. Any ideas on what could cause this? I am worried.

Any information would be helpful.

Thanks.

Update:

the lights were off. i forgot to turn them on. i turn them on when i'm here and off at night because the tank is in my room. but usually theyre on. only one did it out of the four though which was odd. I am going to move the tank infront of a shaded window soon. I know this creates green moss so it'll feed my pleco the round tablets are expensive.

    well if you do have a light on your tank when you turn it off the fish color fade and when you turn it back on the color gets brighter again or maybe the room got darker well i found this site and i hope it helps

    well were the lights off in his tank? when i had left the lights out in my aquarium for a few days my guppies faded but then when the lights where on for a while they were colorful again.

    the temperature in the water probably changed quickly.
