A couple of months ago, I did a fairly aggressive trim on my GSP. The polyps retracted, and stayed retracted for a number of weeks.

The polyps have just recently started extending again. But now they're brown.

GSP went from this circled in red

Will the color come back eventually?
 
Not a super experienced reefer here but I've been dabbling for 3- 4 years now. Same thing happened to me once when I tried to trim some back a little too aggressively, browned out for close to 4 months, color slowly came back with stable parameters. I was also intermittently using Restor from Brightwell aquatics, not sure if that helped or not but either way the green came back just as strong if not stronger eventually.
