Darren,

the PS diver supports several options (see "phelp device").
For color postscript, DEVICE=PS|||C.

To set the color of the marker, title, and data, define the color in the
parameter options, eg:
TITLE = title color / title line location / title string
MARKER = marker color / marker type / size / width / hw flag
COLORS = 2 

COLOR #2 is red (see phelp colors). The parameter COLORS defines the
color of the plotted data, MARKER allows the marker color to be defined using 
the
first option position, as does TITLE.
