Try border-color.

This is an example that I use

hr {height:1px; border-style:solid; border-width:1px 0 0 0;
border-color:#74A8C0;}

Play with the values to make look as you prefer

I would try to avoid <hr>s (I a assume you meant them). Usually <hr>s
are used to optically seperate conent. This can be accomplished by using
a border-bottom.

Actually I think it's better to leave the the HRs *in* and use CSS to
disguise them if necessary. That way you get much better results in text and
audio browsers.

Wrap the HRs inside DIV elements like this:

<DIV class="hr"><HR></DIV>

and put this in your CSS file:

HR {
display: none;
}

DIV.hr {
margin: 2.0em 0;
height: 0.4em;
background-color: #fc9;
clear: both;
}

IMO this depends if the hr has only represental functions or if it is
content.
And the argument that NS4 displays a correct hr is poor. NS4-users must
be punished. ;-)

Works well in IE and Moz...

HR {
background-color: #006699; /* mozilla */
border: 0px; /* fixes mozilla height */
clear: left;
color: #006699; /* ie */
float: left;
height: 1px;
margin: 4px 0px 4px 0px;
width: 99%;
}
