It is not allowed to use the "override" command within a chord; if you're 
working with lilypond 2.8, you can use the "tweak" command.
Your example will work this way:

<bes \tweak #'color #blue g>4

It will produce a chord with a blue g. It is not needed to revert the color to 
black, because "tweak" changes the property only once at a time.

You can find some other information here:

Scroll down the page a bit, and one of the news is all about "tweak".
