If the tooth has not fully devitalised then it can sometimes recover from the injury associated with trauma. This may include the colour improving but in adults over 14years old this is unlikely. The health and vitality of the tooth should be closely monitored and in my own practice I would refer you to see our endodontist (root canal specialist) to have this tooth fully checked over and for the monitoring process.
