Fall color depends on a lot of things, and it is common for any individual tree to vary in vibrance and fall color duration from year to year. But barring the first, say, two years, the color hue(s) should always be the same.
I'm not sure what your tree will do in the future, but it is pretty common for newly planted trees to react differently from their future selves. Most often they will color and drop leaves earlier than normal due to stress. But if they have been encouraged to grow with extra fertilizer (more than is actually needed), as what may happen at a nursery to get maximum growth, they could color later. Even if your tree does not color at all before this winter (very unlikely), I'm sure that it would be a one time occurrence. That said, it's the genetics (along with the climate) that will determine the color and coloring schedule: whether it's parents are native to the southern or northern reaches of the sugar maple's natural distribution in the wild. So in the end, your tree ultimately may or may not normally color at the same time other maples in the area do. So not to worry.
