Re: Coda/Segno sign color override not working: LiliyPond 2.24.0

[Leo Correia de Verdier]

The problem with that solution is that it changes all Scripts, including all 
articulations. I would suggest the somewhat hacky solution of redefining just 
the commands in case, like 

segno = \tweak color #red \segno
coda = \tweak color #red \coda

But if something more elegant is required (for instance if there could be 
conflicting tweaks) there is a solution in this thread:
