In a few of my languages I have something like this:

		round-brackets = { patterns = (
				{	name = 'meta.group.braces.curly';
					begin = '\{';
					end = '\}';
					patterns = ( { include = 'source.prototype.js.bracketed'; } );
				},
				{	name = 'meta.group.braces.round';
					begin = '\(';
					end = '\)';
					patterns = ( { include = 'source.prototype.js.bracketed'; } );
				},
			);
		};

You could rework that to color just the brackets themselves.
But that would be permanent for that theme.
