Color a block of texts inside tabbing

Question

I am editing a frame of a presentation in beamer. This frame has 2 parts side by side. The left side is a program by tabbing containing 5 lines:

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{A motivating example}
  \begin{columns}
    \begin{column}{0.48\textwidth}
      \begin{framed}
        \resizebox{0.85\textwidth}{!}{%
          \begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
            \begin{tabbing}
              \quad \= \hspace{-0.3cm} \quad \= \hspace{-0.1cm} \quad \= \hspace{-0.1cm} \quad \= \hspace{-0.1cm} \quad \= \hspace{0cm} \= \\[-\baselineskip]\kill
              1 \> \> line 1 \\
              2 \> \> line 2 \\
              3 \> \> line 3 \\
              4 \> \> line 4 \\
              5 \> \> line 5
            \end{tabbing}
          \end{minipage}}
      \end{framed}
    \end{column}
    \begin{column}{0.48\textwidth}
    ...
    \end{column}
  \end{columns}
\end{frame}

I would like to make Lines 3, 4 and 5 in blue, instead of black. I try to put \color{blue} in front of 3, but it doesn't color things after 3. I try to put \textcolor{blue}{...line 3...line 4...line 5...}, but it gives an error.

Does anyone know if it is possible to color 3 lines together?

Clearly this is gross abuse of syntax, and you didn't hear this from me...

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{color}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabbing}
              \quad \= \hspace{-0.3cm} \quad \= \hspace{-0.1cm} \quad \= \hspace{-0.1cm} \quad \= \hspace{-0.1cm} \quad \= \hspace{0cm} \= \\[-\baselineskip]\kill
              1 \> \> line 1 \\
              2 \> \> line 2 \\[0pt \color{red}]
              3 \> \> line 3 \\
              4 \> \> line 4 \\[0pt \color{green}]
              5 \> \> line 5
\end{tabbing}

\end{document}
