LilyPond 'layout' may be changed for 'startRepeatBarType' and
'endRepeatBarType'.
I didn't make it clear that I was requesting ideas to suggest a better
way (e.g. Scheme code), rather than having to repeat each of the colour
settings.
Repost of the MWE (perhaps not so minimum) showing:
1. colours of 'start/end RepeatBarType' to be red (done in both the
'music' and the 'layout' block)
2. colours of repeat with different endings to be red
3. colours of 'Score.VoltaBracket.color' to be red - including the
single volta indicators
4. colours of 'sections' to be red
5. colours of 'fine' to be red
6. colours of repeat of a few bars to be magenta

Anyone that has better knowledge of Scheme Code may be able to assist in
my quest to reduce having to copy every colour inline, e.g. every
instance of 'Staff.BarLine.Color', '\section', etc.
