Its possible, usually the birds true adult colours arent accurate until after the first or second moult.
That said in some species females are duller in colours, are you sure he isnt a she?
I dont know much abour lorikeets, what ive said is based on some other species so feel free to correct me.

im not sure if its a he or a she it doesnt bother me but im not sure about his colors and i know hes still a baby because his eyes havn't pinned yet and his beak still has black on it which doesnt fully fade away until about 6months
i tried looking it up on google but havn't got any info yet

Having spent my entire childhood feeding the wild from our apartment balcony...

Yes, they definitely do get brighter. Probably around the same time the beak/eye blackness goes away.
