Different colours indicate the speed at which the two are talking.

There is 10Mbps
There is 100Mbps
There is 1000Mbps (1Gbps)

The red is probably 10Mbps while your laptop can connect at 100Mbps. This does not make much difference if you internet is only 5Mbps.

The hardware inside the PS3 may be only capable of a certain speed so replacing the cable may not help.
