Max (et al),
were you hoping the ConTeXt distribution would ship its own pgfutil-context.def, or were you hoping that someone could convince Henri to put the RGB change in?
We can patch some of the definitions of pgfutil-context.def in m-tikz if really needed, but it would be preferable to first check if tikz maintainers are willing to merge them upstream.
Unfortunately, it seems that the maintainer feels that if we can't deal with cmyk profiles, we shouldn't have cmyk at all. I don't agree, but that's where it ended. (I was arguing for plain TeX support at the time in the linked^2 message, but I was able to add the definition for cmyk to my own macro file, so I was able to process examples with cmyk colours.) What does the maintainer mean by that ... context can add profiles if configured to do so (best not to embed them) ... and why should there be a profile anyway ... crappy arguments .. especially because when i run
\usemodule[tikz] \startTEXpage \definecolor [colorone] [r=0,g=0,b=0.5] \definecolor [colortwo] [c=0,m=1] \starttikzpicture \fill [colorone] (0,0) circle(2) ; % rgb \fill [colortwo] (0,0) circle(1) ; % cmyk \stoptikzpicture \setupcolors[cmyk=no] \starttikzpicture \fill [colorone] (0,0) circle(2) ; % rgb \fill [colortwo] (0,0) circle(1) ; % rgb \stoptikzpicture \stopTEXpage here i get a pdf file with rgb and cmyk. Maybe I have an old tikz and something changed (wouldn't be the first time). So let's forget about maintainers and ugly hacks, and identify what is the real problem.
