if you're in a BJJ gym, and they claim to be official, and use more colors, they are full of shit.

and it takes on average, 2-3 years of consistent training to get a blue belt, 5-6 for a purple, and 8-9 for a brown, much more for a black. this is just what i have heard, and everyone has their own learning speed, so you could be a blue in a year or 5.

You seem pretty opinionated for someone who gets their information from word of mouth instead of experience.
Most people get blue around a year or so at my school. Some longer and quite a few are less. I don't question the promotions since we do well in tournaments.

I'll answer the question about my own belt level sometime after Dec. 1
