Brazilian hold their color and have brighter colors. Colombian color fades to a plain brown and their makings fade. Check out this thread it has pictures of both. You'll see why BRB are more popular.

Both are similar in care requirements, but a Brazilian rainbow boa has a much redder color with a lot more contrast and brighter markings. They also cost more. You might also want to look into Peruvian rainbow boas. They are even brighter than Brazilians and tend to be a bit hardier. I have a Peruvian two year old male from Ben Seigel reptiles and couldn't be happier.
