I think it really depends on the tank and water conditions. If the levels aren't up to par it might take a little longer. I know people who's angels started changing to their adult colors within the first year they had them.

Ive seen Koran angels become adults once they reach 3-5'' they will start to change. It does also depends on the tank itself.

I agree with JENnkerry, the variables are exponential.
I have seen some change at around 4", while some may not change until around 6".

I'd also like to add that the color change will speed up if the fish is healthy and has a nutritious, balanced diet.
