Currently it searches only for 09:49:* and also searches incorrect entry like 05:09:49.
It is not an incorrect entry, grep did exactly what it was designed for, you did a
Code:
grep "09:49.*yellow" out.log

and so 05:09:49. matches! The true issue is you not giving a better pattern, and here we cannot help you since you have not submitted any sample so we can see what you are up to, Scrutinsers submission is pefectly valid with the little info you gave so far (even if I guessed where the issues would be...) so next time I see a post from you like above, be sure I will close the thread a give you a warning.

zegrep

ZGREP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  ZGREP(1)

NAME

     zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files

SYNOPSIS

     zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]

     zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]

     zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

     zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1).

     The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1).  If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern
     argument.

     zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1).

EXIT STATUS

     In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0.

SEE ALSO

     egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1)
