You have failed to give us a reproducible example.  I just tried

plot(1:10)
abline(h=5, col="blue")

and got blue on screen and in the postscript.

That's obselete. Please update.  If you then still have problems (and I can
see no reason why this has changed, but we cannot debug versions we no
longer have installed), you need to send a reproducible example and its
output.  One possibility is that the problem is in your (unspecified)
postscript translator confusing RGB colours.
