a) put a \with in a variable and apply it to certain Staff.
b) put a \layout in score to apply it to all affected contexts of this score.
c) put a \layout at toplevel to apply it to all scores of the file

Below example for a) and b)
For c) c/p the layout from score ate toplevel

clr =
\with { \override BarLine.color = #red }

<<
  \new Staff \clr
  { r1 r1 }
  \new Staff
  { r1 r1 }
>>

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff
    { r1 r1 }
    \new Staff
    { r1 r1 }
  >>
  \layout {
    \override Staff.BarLine.color = #green
  }
}

There should be examples in LM and/or NR ...
