Food, genetics and stress can all affect colors. There are color enhancing diets that you can buy. Maintaining pristine water quality and stable chemistry will limit stress. If the fish has muted colors due to genetics, there is nothing to be done. As far as being "shy", this can be due to anything that is stressful or potential illness or injury. This would require and exam to diagnose.
