This is down to a difference of opinion between IE and Opera/Mozilla.
IE reckons that an <hr> is just a line, and uses the "color" definition to style it. Opera and Mozilla think that an <hr> is a box with nothing in it (somewhat like a <div> with no content), and look for the "border-color" definition.
Actually, more like a difference in ability to read specs. The "color" property is for text content, which an "hr" element does not have, so "color" would not be right anyway.
I mentioned the gas-lit end of documentation in an earlier post, but this is on the main highway. It reinforces the case for testing in almost any other browser except IE first, just to get pages working according to spec.
(BTW, I am still annoyed that the CSS3 recommendations will deprecate the CSS2 system colors, because I have just found a practical use for them, in a set of training pages. Now I've got to learn about the "appearance" property, without knowing when and by whom it will be implemented.)
