Single notes in a chord can be influenced using \tweak's instead of 
\override's. Tweaks can be made out of overrides using \single, but they 
also lend themselves to creating very convenient shorthands:

\version "2.22.2"

gr =
\tweak color SeaGreen
\tweak Stem.color SeaGreen
\etc

\new Staff {
  <f' \gr g' d'>1
  \gr <f' g' d'>2
}
