Depends on the coral...and you have to know that it is bleached, and not just dead.

I had a frogspawn that bleached to almost being clear when it wasn't getting any light due to being shaded by another coral, once I moved it to my new tank it pretty much got all it's colour back in about a month and has never looked better.

I had some mushrooms that were on some live rock that I bought that were in heated saltwater with no light, they were pretty much clear and see though, now that they are under light again they have gotten all of their color back.
