Usually when the color goes away it means there is something missing nutritionally, what is his diet like? Rubbing his beak on the cage is normal, he's just using the cage bars to clean his beak.
I would take him to a certified avian vet now.

It could be a diet/vitamin & mineral problem, so ditto to the above - get him checked out.

^ +1 on both accounts. Could even keratin loss.

Get yourself to an avian vet!! Birds can go downhill very quickly by the time we notice the symptoms, so please don't delay and get it checked out right away.
