Are the coloured symbols always the first ones in a given syllable?
Then a simple scheme function that takes two arguments could work.

#(define-markup-command (firstred layout props sone stwo) (string? string?)
  "Print the first string in red"
  (interpret-markup layout props
    (markup #:concat ((#:with-color red sone) stwo))))

{ c' c' c' c' }
  \addlyrics {

    \markup \firstred #"A" #"bc"
    Def
    Ghi
    \markup \firstred #"Jk" #"l"
}
