The first command "color blue" changes the rendering color of the currently selected atoms. Different rendering types like "spacefill", "wireframe", "cartoon" will all get the same color unless the color was changed individually (e.g.: "color cartoon red"). By default atom renderings are colored according to the atom type. To restore this you can use the command "color cpk". By "cpk" Jmol colors atom renderings by the atom type. The command "color chain" will color them by the chain they are assigned to. The sets of colors used for atom types are called 'color schemes'. And this is where the second command "set defaultColors Jmol" plays a role. In Jmol there exist several atom color schemes (e.g.: jmol, rasmol; see "http://jmol.sourceforge.net/jscolors/";). With "set defaultColors" you select between these schemes. In your case you couldn't see any difference because the default atom color scheme is already 'jmol'.
