I think to get this to work you have to say what it is you want to revert?
You could do it like this:
\version "2.17.29"
boo = { \override NoteHead.color = #red }
revertboo = { \revert NoteHead.color }
{ a' \boo dis' e' fis' g \revertboo b }
But I think what you really want is a music function:
\version "2.17.29"
boo =
#(define-music-function
(parser location the-music)
(ly:music?)
#{
\override NoteHead.color = #red
#the-music
\revert NoteHead.color
#})
\relative c' { c4 d e f \boo { g a b } c d e }
For more about music functions, see the docs:
