It depends on the color and size. Certain colors like different kiln temps. Some kiln-striking reds, for example, need about 1050 to develop color. Some colors need 1150-1175 to develop. Some go in at 1000. The larger the piece, the longer it needs to stay in the kiln. I know some marble makers that make 3" and larger marbles, and they leave them in the kiln for up to 24 hours.

I would get a copy of Boro Bead Magic by Doug Remschneider. He goes pretty deeply into striking colors both in the flame and in the kiln, and tells you kiln settings to get specific colors.
