Female Black Ocellaris Coloring Question

I've had a pair of Black Ocellaris for about two years now. I got them when they were about 1.5" and now the female is 3" and the male is about 2". When I got them, the male was completely black with white stripes and the female was completely black except for her orange face. Now, two years later, the black has started to creep towards her face in some areas, but not very much. Will it ever turn black? I don't like it orange. Is there anything I can do to speed up the coloring process?
 
I'm fairly sure that the black will cover her face with age. My BO female even had orange on her dorsal along with an orange face when I first got her. The fin and face slowly turned black.

Her "forehead" area is already covered in black. How long did it take for yours to turn completely black?
Two years ago her whole face (all the way back to the first stripe) was orange.
 
Some B&W clowns never develope full black. I now that food and lights have alot to do with it. One person that has done some research on this is Matt Pedersen and can be contacted on the michigan forum. He can probably give you some good things to try.
