Please add a snippet to LSR.

colorNote = #(define-music-function (parser location color) (string?)
  #{
    \once \override Stem #'color = #(x11-color $color)
    \once \override NoteHead #'color = #(x11-color $color)
  #})

(or a similar example for normal colors)

\relative c' {
  \colorNote #"red" c4
  \colorNote #"blue" c4
}

...etc...

Or you could just search the mailist archives for Trevor Baca's .ly file 
that did this all already.
