It's not a USB or kernel problem so the sane-devel mailing list is better suited. The xsane version doesn't matter either, that's only the frontend (application). Have a look at the version of sane-backends, e.g. with scanimage --version. If the color problem is still present wwith sane-backends 1.0.10 or later, contact sane-devel or the maintainer of the plustek deriver dirctly.
