do they lose the green colouration quicker with higher or lower
temperatures?


Once they've gone green they won't lose it again.

They do, once they've been in the dark long enough. Whether they lose
the solanine is another question entirely.

My understanding from books is that if green tattas are kept in the cool and
total darkness, they should return to normal. However, I haven't tried this!
