Ahh, now I see where my problem lays:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setupfootnotes[textcolor=magenta]
\setupfootnotedefinition[before={\color[green]}] test\footnote{test}
\stoptext
Despite the fact that interaction carries its own color, elements can be re-colored by their own color definition (see above). Only the number of the note in front of the footnote text always gets overridden by interaction color!
Because it is overridden by interaction color.
This distinction I didn't expect.
Why should exclusively that poor little number not be allowed to have its own color?
There should be a better way to do this (set interaction color and interaction style of each element separately), but for your case you can use \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupfootnotes[textcolor=magenta] \setupfootnotedefinition[before={\color[green]}] test\footnote{test} \stoptext
