Howdy,
The problem is with transparency. If you can use pdflatex instead of latex->dvips->ps2pdf that will work.
Alternatively, if you use TeXShop, please download the GhostsciptTransparencyEngines.zip file from my downlaod site, <https://herbs.github.io> and unzip it. If you need help isntalling the engines let me know.
Once the engines are installed place the line
% !TEX program = latexTR
at the top of the file and typeset using Typeset->Typeset (cmd-T). If you usee the latexmk based engines use
% !TEX program = latexTRmk
at the top of your file and Typeset->Typeset (Cmd-T).
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
