You have an extra set of curly braces surrounding the color you want. Try

ListPlot[{{1, 2}, {4, 2}, {1, 4}, {
      4, 2}}, PlotJoined -> True, PlotStyle -> {RGBColor[0, 0, 1]}];
      

instead of what you posted.

Also, with version 5.1 basic colors are named. So you could use the simpler syntax

ListPlot[{{1, 2}, {4, 2}, {1, 4}, {
      4, 2}}, PlotJoined -> True, PlotStyle -> Blue];

Note, I've not used a list since only one attribute of the default PlotStyle is being altered.
