The problem with that solution is that it changes all Scripts, including all articulations. I would suggest the somewhat hacky solution of redefining just the commands in case, like
segno = \tweak color #red \segno
coda = \tweak color #red \coda
But if something more elegant is required (for instance if there could be conflicting tweaks) there is a solution in this thread: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2021-09/msg00484.html

It's about 160 bars long with the segno in bar 24 and the "to coda" symbol in bar 48 and three repeated sections, I got lost in the nested braces when I tried the new structure. If I was writing it from scratch rather than re-editing it would be simpler.

Turns out that using the \coda and \segno commands the symbols created are handled the same as articulations. That means they fall into the somewhat more generic Script type, which is handled in the Voice context. Therefor:

The "elegant" solution intrigues me, but the link to the thread appears to be down.
