I just tried exactly your code (including the groff command, but
with filenames changed), except for the table (.TS H ... .TE) stuff,
using a coloured eps file:

groff -Tps -t -mme temp.tr | ps2pdf14 - temp.pdf

The resultin PDF was coloured. Using groff 1.18.1 on Debian Etch,
and also on Debian Lenny.

The same is true for groff -Tps -t -mme temp.tr > temp.ps
The resulting PS file is coloured.

Have you viewed your logo file prompt.eps (using say gv) to make
sure that it really is coloured?

Is it possible that whatever you use to view your resulting PS
(or PDF) file is configured to display colour?

The only other thing I can think of is that something in your
table contents has disabled colour rendering, though I can't
think what that might be.

Ted.
