Dear Hans,
thanks for your reply. Indeed there are color definitions in `pgfutil-context.def`. However, they are commented out with the message
% no need for x colors (users can load it if needed) ... %\pgfutil@definecolor{gray}{gray}{0.5}
If I add
\csname pgfutil@definecolor\endcsname{gray}{gray}{0.5}
to my document the gray shows up fine. So that's for sure a feasible workaround.
Can you comment on the phrase »no need for x colors (users can load it if needed)«? I'm not quite sure what it means and it suggests that there exists a proper solution to my color problem.
normally you want the same colors in tikz images as in context so then defining them in tikz is creating incompatibilities (your case is the reverse and a-typical)
However, without such redefinitions, tikz does not understand ConTeXt colors. I use a similar workaround in my documents as well.
I have no clue what you mean. \definecolor[red][g=1] \startTEXpage \starttikzpicture \fill[red] (0,0) circle (1cm); \stoptikzpicture \stopTEXpage works ok here and gives green. So, one can collect a list of colors defined in tikz in a colo-imp-tikz.mkiv and load that one if needed.
Perhaps, one could define a macro `\enabletikzcolors[...list..]` that will do the appropriate translations.
