A military color guard is, generally speaking, armed and carries with it the national colors of the country it represents. A marching band color guard is, generally speaking, not armed and carries with it flags, sabers, and wooden rifles used for spinning as an accent in a performance.
Depending on how far back you go, they are the same thing - color guard has its origins in the military, literally being there to guard the "colors" (aka the flag). Over time it evolved, and you have the modern color guard activity associated with marching bands and winterguards.

For example, at winterguard competitions, there is an honor guard to present the colors.
