Dave,
Not quite sure what you are after. Are you wanting to plot n vs zz for each 
column of zz?. If so try this...

n <- 100
zz <- cbind(rnorm(n),rnorm(n),floor(runif(n)*3+1))
colors<-c("red","green","blue")
for(i in 1:3){
    plot(1:n,zz[,i],col=colors[i],ylim=range(zz))
    par(new=T)
}

or a pairs type plot. In which case something like this will do (not sure what 
you mean about the colours in this case)

par(mfrow=c(3,3))
for(i in 1:3){
    for(j in 1:3){
        plot(zz[,i],zz[,j],col=colors[i],ylim=range(zz), xlim=range(zz))
    }
}
