AIX sed does not have EREs, therefore the proposed -E-switch will not work. Using -e declares the following just as a sed-expression and so does (in this case) nothing.
How about posting at east one line of the log you want to process and the result to be achieved? As you talk about colour codes, a hexdump of the line might help. Isolate the line, use print - "$line" | od -ax > /some/file and post the content of file.
I hope this helps.

CHSH(1) User Commands CHSH(1)
NAME
chsh - change login shell
SYNOPSIS
chsh [options] [LOGIN]
DESCRIPTION
The chsh command changes the user login shell. This determines the name of the user's initial login command. A normal user may only change
the login shell for her own account; the superuser may change the login shell for any account.
OPTIONS
The options which apply to the chsh command are:
-h, --help
Display help message and exit.
-s, --shell SHELL
The name of the user's new login shell. Setting this field to blank causes the system to select the default login shell.
If the -s option is not selected, chsh operates in an interactive fashion, prompting the user with the current login shell. Enter the new
value to change the shell, or leave the line blank to use the current one. The current shell is displayed between a pair of [ ] marks.
NOTE
The only restriction placed on the login shell is that the command name must be listed in /etc/shells, unless the invoker is the superuser,
and then any value may be added. An account with a restricted login shell may not change her login shell. For this reason, placing /bin/rsh
in /etc/shells is discouraged since accidentally changing to a restricted shell would prevent the user from ever changing her login shell
back to its original value.
FILES
/etc/passwd
User account information.
/etc/shells
List of valid login shells.
/etc/login.defs
Shadow password suite configuration.
SEE ALSO
chfn(1), login.defs(5), passwd(5).
