The Autofill Columns feature looks at the smallest and largest number in your Interaction column, which are 0 and 1. It assigns black to 0 and blue to 1. (The usual colors are orange and blue, but it sounds like you chose different colors.) If there were a range of values in the Interaction column, then edges with a value of 0 would become black, edges with a value of 1 would become blue, and edges with values between 0 and 1 would become some color between black and blue. You don't have any in-between values, so all edges will be either black or blue in your graph.
NodeXL assigns colors to each edge individually. It does NOT look for duplicate edges, or what you call repeated interactions. If there are two edges between A and B, one with an Interaction value of 0 and another with an Interaction value of 1, then the first edge will be black and the second edge will be blue.
Unfortunately, NodeXL draws duplicate edges on top of each other, so you can't tell one from the other. (It should bend them out slightly so you can distinguish them, but it doesn't do that.) The result is that you'll get a black edge on top of a blue edge, or a blue edge on top of a black edge, depending on the order the edges are listed in the Edges worksheet. This obviously isn't what you want to happen.
Because of this, it would be better for you to combine your duplicate edge rows and create an Average Interaction column before using Autofill Columns. In my example, you would combine the two edges between A and B into a single edge with an Average Interaction value of 0.5. You would then tell Autofill Columns to use the Average Interaction column, and NodeXL would assign a single color (dark blue) to the combined edge.
