I define a special function for this:

#(define aster #{ \set stanza = \markup \with-color #gregoriocolor * #})

Given this definition, I can put `\aster` into the lyrics exactly where I want 
it.


`gregoriocolor` is used in several locations in my files, and has the following 
definition:

gregoriocolor = #(rgb-color 0.898 0.208 0.172)

You can, of course, change that to the color you actually want.
