The problem you're experiencing comes from two incorrect parameters,

  SPACE     OFF
  UNDERLINE OFF

This is quite understandable if you're accustomed to heading
management in pre-2.0.  With the new HEADING_STYLE, those
parameters, as documented, should be

  NO_SPACE_AFTER
  NO_UNDERSCORE

When I fix your HEADING_STYLE, the problem you report goes away.
(NO_SPACE AFTER and NO_UNDERSCORE are defaults, so there's actually
no need to include them.)

I believe the problem here is that your ECBBLUE too closely
resembles the default PDF_LINK_COLOR, with the result that you're
mistaking what's happening.  Entries in the TOC are now clickable
PDF links, so what you're seeing is the TOC using the default
PDF_LINK_COLOR, not your heading colour.  From the docs:

  +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
  | When files containing a table of contents are processed with pdfmom, |
  | entries in the table of contents are clickable links when the        |
  | document is viewed at the screen. The colour of the links is the     |
  | last .PDF_LINK_COLOR in effect, so if you wish another colour, it    |
  | should be set just before issuing .TOC.                              |
  +----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Assuming you want standard black for TOC entries,

  .PDF_LINK_COLOR black
  .TOC
