This will color start bars on successive lines, too.

Try:

\version "2.19.82"

one = \relative c' {
  \alterBroken color #(list red blue black) StaffGroup.SystemStartBracket
  a1 \break
  a \break
  a
}

two = \relative c' {
  c c c
}

\new StaffGroup <<
  \new Staff \one
  \new Staff \two
>>

HTH,
