The color of the shields may have been stylistic at first, but I do see a trend with those blue shields.
When we first see Apophis use a shield (in "The Nox"), the color was gold. Gold happened to be Apophis' banner color when he was the Serpent God. I mean, the guy loved gold, and the shield did not clash with his style.
When we saw Sokar use the same sort of shield (in "The Devil You Know"), the color was red, and again, seemed to be fitting Sokar's satanic style. Naturally, Apophis' new shield retained the red color when he took up Sokar's stuff.
But in the cause of blue shields, like you say, the ones used by Aris Boch (in "Deadman Switch") and Hathor (in "Into the Fire") ignored that velocity factor, and the fields behaved as solid walls even against slow objects. In both cases, the color tone was blue (scientifically, you could account for that as a severe blue-shift of visible light as the shield repels stuff much stronger than usual).
As to your original question, maybe Apophis upgraded the shield, or maybe the strange energy of the Replicators would have repelled them off the shield.
