Ah, ok, good catch.  So for score specific contexts the following usage is
needed.

\score {
  \new myVoice { c' d' e' f' }
  
  \accept-like Voice myVoice \layout {
    \context {
      \Voice
      \name myVoice
      \alias Voice
      \override NoteHead.color = #blue
    }
  }
}

So it's probably best to just recommend that as the way to do it in all
cases.
