Well, you've got something wrong. It should have started blue.

You talking window colors? You can adjust those to whatever you want in the graphics options.
One of the first things I do, with any new character, is recolor everything to their personal theme. Helps me find the character, in my head.

This is what I was thinking too. I looked through the options, but didn't see anything that might fix it (and I didn't want to manually adjust colors).|

On the General tab, I hit Reset Windows. That did it. Of course, I had to set up my windows all over again, but at least they're comforting hero blue now.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

NT, window colours are static unless you change them manually. If you have a default window settings file, every new character you make will try to start with those colours. If not, you'll start with colours appropriate to the side you're on. These will never change unless you change them.
Getting the hero interface should be easy, though. Go to Menu -> Options -> Graphics and Audio Settings -> User Interface and I think it's 60% blue, 20% red and green. I can't really check it on my end since all my character use the grey interface, but ask over a global channel or over help and I'm sure a hero using the default interface will be able to tell you what his settings are.

If you have default window settings files, what colours are your windows in them? Sounds like your files are making your windows grey. I think I remember speaking with you about making a one-size-fits-all window settings file that would work for both heroes and villains, hence the grey, but I may have forgotten.|

I'll see if I can't tell you what to look for in the file.
*edit*
OK, look for a wdw.txt file in your City of Heroes installation folder and open it in NotePad. A line from it should look like this:

*edit*
50%, not 60%. My hex arithmetic sucks
