[R] Setting the colors of lines in a trellis plot...

Use col= to specify colors, e.g.

    library(lattice)
    x <- 1:12
    xyplot(x ~ x, group = gl(3,4), col = 1:3, type = "l", auto.key = TRUE)

If this is not sufficiently close to your problem
1. cut your example down to a *minimal* size and
2. provide it as *self contained* and
3. *reproducible* code.
