\override Accidental color = #green
\override Accidental color = #red
\push\override Accidental color = #blue
[...]
\revert Accidental color

or, if you prefer
\override Accidental color = #green
\override Accidental color = #red
\temporary\override Accidental color = #blue
[...]
\revert Accidental color

\revert will go back to the value before the last \temporary/push
override.
