You could redefine \tweak but it is probably more reliable to use

\version "2.16.2"
{ c d e f \tweak #'font-size 3 g a b c }
\layout
{
\context {
\Score
\consists #(make-engraver
(acknowledgers
((grob-interface engraver grob source)
(let ((ev (event-cause grob)))
(if (and (ly:stream-event? ev)
(pair? (ly:event-property ev 'tweaks)))
(set! (ly:grob-property grob 'color) red))))))
}
}
This does not try to differentiate events into several grobs, so in this
case, the whole note with stem and notehead will get colored even though
just the notehead was tweaked. It is more cumbersome to pick out
further details, so this is left as an exercise to the reader.
