Thanks. I would not have thought of that. In the reference manual headcolor occurs in 13.2 \setupdescriptions and in 13.5 \definelabel only. I did not connect that with footnotes. Is \setupnotation a special form of \setupdescriptions?

By the way, is a separate call to \setupnote[footnote][textcolor=red] necessary to color the footnotemark in the running text? Or is there a key for it in \setupnotation[footnote] too?

Indeed, this helped. Thanks.

For the record: in order to keep the position of the number in the footnote high, one has to use:
\def\redfootnotenumber#1{\color[red]{\high{#1}}}
\setupnotation[footnote][numbercommand=\redfootnotenumber]
You can use the headcolor key to change the color of the footnote number.

\setupnotation[footnote][headcolor=red]
