Correct; 1) My bag is blue in color.
This means that the color of your bag is blue.
Also correct; 2) My bag is in blue color.
This sentance makes sense...but it's not correct if you're describing a blue bag. It would mean that your bag is soaking IN blue color.
The problem is, if you're describing a blue bag, you JUST said "My bag is in blue." or "My bag is blue." Either would mean that your bag is the color blue.
If you said "My bag is in blue COLOR." and you are trying to say that your bag is blue...you have already named the color. The color is blue. You don't need to SAY 'color' after it, or it will sound needlessly wordy.

You could just say "my bag is blue." Adding "in color" clarifies that you are talking about the appearance of the bag and not its emotional state (yes that would be absurd, but maybe it's an absurd statement).
I cannot think of a use for the construction "My bad is in blue color."
You can spell "colour" however you want. I am American so I don't use the "u".

"My bag is blue in color" is correct. The second sentence doesn't make any sense and the syntax is completely wrong. You would always use the second case and never the first. You could also say "My bag is blue."

2) is more correct. It is also correct to say
My bag is blue.
or
I have a blue bag.
or
The color of my bag is blue.
I can't think of an example for using sentence (1).

My bag is blue in colour. You are saying the bag is blue. The "in colour" is a (largely unnecessary) prepositional phrase acting as an adjective/adverb.

If your question is on "native way of saying," I'd rather you say "My bag is blue." "In blue color" or "blue in color" is a little bit wordy. However, since your question is on grammar, let me explain furthermore. "Blue" can be used as an a noun (a color of clear sky) or an adjective (having this color.) In the first sentence, in terms of structure, "in blue color" is working as an adjective. In terms of grammar of the sentence, it is "predicate," "predicative," or "subject complement." Its internal structure is a combination of preposition "in" and a noun phrase "blue color." This is called "prepositional phrase." In the second sentence, "blue" is an adjective in predicative use and "in color" is working as an adverbial. You can say "In color, my bag is blue." This is grammatically correct but no one say it that way. I can say now that both sentences are grammatically correct and have the same meaning. But if you say "My bag is blue in water," that's another story. It means it is not blue when it is not in water. And this time you can see it clearly that "in water" is working as an adverb (or adverbial) because anyone can say, "In water, my bag is blue." Adverb has no deadly fixed position on the sentence in terms of grammar.

You do not have to add the word "color" at all. It is already understood that blue is a color. It is best stated; my bag is blue.
If you had to choose between the two sentences the second one is better.

Depends what you want your sentence to mean. If you want it to mean your bag is blue, choose the second one. If you want it to mean your bag is being dipped in blue color, choose the first one. ;D
