You're misunderstanding the output.
On your machine, "grep" is aliased to "grep --color", probably courtesy
of your distro. So it's grep's output that is in color (here on gentoo,
the matching part shows up in red, but your distro might use a different
color).
The first line of output (two lines as wrapped above) is the line we were
talking about, kdeinit4 starting klipper.
The second line is the line from ps (process show) reporting on grep
itself, since "klipper" appeared as part of grep's commandline too.
And because of the alias, the grep command that was actually run was
"grep --color klipper", not just the "grep klipper" that you typed in.
