Hi austux,

Although you can apply ..... under tabs in paragraph styles using 
"Format > Paragraph > Tabs > Fill Style" you can't change the colour.

You can use character styles - create a blue dotted style for your tabs 
characters and apply a separate paragraph style for the rest of the 
paragraph.

  Format > Character > Font Effects > Underlining

This technique is a little more labour intensive but you could probably 
do a global find and replace (i.e. find tabs then change to tab with 
format).
