Hello, I have precast concrete coping… no one has been in the backyard for 48 hours….is this normal? Pool was filled in June…. Just seems odd to me and PB is saying it’s normal?
Is there something particular that you are worried about? Based on the photos, nothing obvious is jumping out to me as an issue.

Assuming you are looking at the joints. Does it dry out or always look like that? If it is consistently like that, I am wondering if they sealed the joints but not the entire coping,
It doesn't dry out....so I'm just concerned about the moisture - I've just never seen concrete/grout that doesn't dry out after a few hours?
since the moisture is there all the time, but without anyone near the pool - I'm wondering what is causing it?

I would ask PB if the grout was sealed. I think what you see is where the sealer is giving it a wet look. You might put a little sealer on an inconspicuous place on the coping to see if it does the same thing. If so, maybe just seal all the coping so it becomes uniform.
I really doubt that it is wicking water from somewhere. Normally there is a concrete band under the coping.
