The diffusive properties in velocity fields whose small scales are parameterized by non $\delta$-correlated noise is investigated using multiscale technique. The analytical expression of the eddy diffusivity tensor is found for a 2D steady shear flow and it is an increasing function of the characteristic noise decorrelation time $\tau$. In order to study a generic flow ${\bm v}$, a small-$\tau$ expansion is performed and the first correction ${\cal O}(\tau)$ to the effective diffusion coefficients is evaluated. This is done using two different approaches and it results that at the order $\tau$ the problem with a colored noise is equivalent to the white-in-time case provided by a renormalization of the velocity field ${\bm v} \mapsto \tilde{\bm v}$ depending on $\tau$. Two examples of 2D closed-streamlines velocity field are considered and in both the cases an enhancement of the diffusion is found.
