Hm, I do not understand well what procedure you want to repeat 50 times?

If you want to have 50 colours you will not be able to distinguish differences. How do you want to plot 50 confidence intervals?

Something like that comes to mind but you shall be more specific about what do you want

plot(1,1, type="n")
arrows(1,.8,1,1.2, angle=90, code=3)
abline(h=1.1, col=2)
