Thanks Hans,
But actually, I've tried it before I asked. I just modified your code from
cont-enp.pdf:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
\setuppapersize [A7][A3]
\setuparranging [2*8,rotated,doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided]
\setuplayout [margin=0pt,width=fit]
\setupbackgrounds [paper][background=color,backgroundcolor=red]
\setupcolors [state=start]
\setuplayout [location=middle,marking=color]
\setuptolerance [tolerant]
\setupbodyfont [6pt]
\starttext
\dorecurse{30}{\input tufte \par \input knuth \par}
\stoptext
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
and it appears nothing changed. So I wonder if you could look it up again
for me.
Thank you

Hi there,
I know there is a command \setupbackgrounds[page][background=???], and I can use \defineoverlay[page][\useMPgraphic{page}], then use MetaPost to draw the page background. But I also use something like \setuppapersize[A7][A3] to compose the output, and it seems that the \setupbackgrounds command only affect on A7 sub-paper. I also noticed a command \setuplayout[marking=color]that really acts on the A3 paper rather than the subpaper. So I think there should be such a macro that handles the whole page's background. Can anyone tell me about it?
you can set up backgrounds for page, leftpage, rightpage, paper etc
so in your case ... use \setupbackgrounds[paper][...]
