Hi Otared and Wolfgang,
Thanks for your help ; the result is almost what I want (the space between the text and the figure is not colored) but it is likely that we could not do better.

Hi Fabrice,

I think what Wolfgang suggests is something like the following:

\useMPlibrary[dum]
\definecolor[fondpaille][c=0,m=0,y=0.2,k=0]
\definetextbackground[fondpaille]
        [background=color,
        backgroundcolor=fondpaille,
        frame=off,
        location=always]

\starttext

\starttextbackground[fondpaille]
        \startplacefigure[number=no,location=right]
                \externalfigure[dummy]
        \stopplacefigure
        \startitemize[n]
                \dorecurse{3}{\startitem \input ward \stopitem}
        \stopitemize
\stoptextbackground

\stoptext

Best regards: Otared K.
