Evidently you're using Mathematica 6.x.

Easy: use PlotStyle.  For example:

   Plot[{x, x^2, x^3}, {x, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> Red]

If you also want some additional directive for the PlotStyle, then 
you'll need to combine the color with that additional directive by means 
of Directive.  For example:

  Plot[{x,x^2,x^3}, {x,0,1}, PlotStyle -> Directive[Red, Thick, Dashed]]

Otherwise, if you try something like...

   Plot[{x,x^2,x^3}, {x,0,1}, PlotStyle->{Red,Thick,Dashed}]

... then the three directives will apply separately to the individual 
curves rather than collectively to all of them at once.
