mutt behaves the way you expect it to,
that is the follwoing lines show up in
"blue on default":
> This is in "quoted" color
> This is in "quoted" color again
the follwoing lines however
are not shown in the colors
you wrote:
| This is in "quoted1" color
: This is in "quoted2" color
} This is in "quoted" color
# This is in "quoted1" color
I'm sure there must be something else
in your setup which changes this.

any hooks involved? check your setup.
or try again with *no* setup at all!
mutt -F /dev/null
does it work as expected now?
if not - did you compile with
ncurses or slang? (see "mutt -v")
