I could not get
global text color within a TikZ environment without individually coloring every node...
If a color is defined using ConTeXt's definecolor it can be used with tikz. Here is an example (adapted from the tikz manual)
Ok, I got confused by something the manual said about color (p. 108); I thought that non-LaTeX users had to use \definecolor{} which crashes on context... Aditya, my hero, THNX as always Idris
\usemodule[tikz] \definecolor[mycolor] [g=.75,r=.15,b=.5]
\starttext
\start[tikzpicture] [parent anchor=east,child anchor=west,grow=east] \tikzstyle{every node}=[ball color=mycolor,circle,text=white] \tikzstyle{edge from parent}=[draw,dashed,thick,red] \node {root} child {node {left}} child {node {right} child {node {child}} child {node {child}} }; \stop[tikzpicture]
\stoptext
