Add whatever colors you like in a list with the Point command.
For example,
setOne = RandomReal[1, {5, 3}];
setTwo = RandomReal[1, {5, 3}];
Show at Graphics3D[{PointSize[0.02], Red, Point[setOne], Green,
Point[setTwo]}]

I don't think you can literally do what you want here. Circles,
squares and triangles are all 2D graphic objects which do not
work well with 3D graphics. But you can use different shapes
using an appropriate 3D primitive. For example,
here are colored boxes
Show@Graphics3D[{Red, Cuboid[# - .02, # + .02] & /@ setOne, Green,
Cuboid[# - .02, # + .02] & /@ setTwo}]
And here are colored balls
Show@Graphics3D[{Red, Sphere[setOne, .02], Green, Sphere[setTwo, .02]}]
And while it is clearly possible to build any graphic you like
from primitives, for 3D plotting of data you might find
ListPointPlot3D more convenient.
ListPointPlot3D[{setOne, setTwo},
PlotStyle -> {{PointSize[.015], Red}, {PointSize[.015], Green}}]
