When you go to a pet shop, you could actually see pictures of different flower horns. At least you will have an idea of what color or how your flower horn would look like. Usually in the shop the baby flower horns do not have color yet. You have to ask the personnel from the shop what color will it have when it is fed with the special feed. This is what i did when i bought mine. The humps on the forehead is enhanced by special feed and its written in the package of the feed (like for enhancing redness or increase the size of humps on the forehead). Female has no black spot on the head and male has a black spot on the head. Just to add, your flower horn should be alone on the aquarium or other fish will be attacked by the flower horn. I hope this would help you.
