I'm trying to play with colors in textext inclusions:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupMPpage[offset=2mm]
\startuseMPgraphic{test}
    label(textext("\color[green]{XYZ}"), (0,0));
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
\forceMPTEXgraphictrue
\startMPpage
    \includeMPgraphic{test}
\stopMPpage
\stoptext
This label does not appear in green, although the intermediate files  
contain:
% figure 1 : texpictures[1] := btex \color [green]{XYZ} etex ;
Is it possible that \setupcolors[state=start] is not communicated?
indeed,

\startMPenvironment
  \setupcolors[state=start]
\stopMPenvironment

if you want to share settings between the tex and mp runs:

\startMPenvironment[global]
  \setupcolors[state=start]
\stopMPenvironment
