Duh! All color is gone, not just section heads. New MWE:

\starttext
  %\startbodymatter % enable and lose colors
    Some text \color[red]{and some red text}.
  %\stopbodymatter  % enable and lose colors
\stoptext

\setupmarginrules[rulethickness=1pt]
\setupmarginrules[1][rulecolor=red]
\setupbar        [overstrike][color=red]
\define[1]\RR    {\startmarginrule[1]\RRR#1\stopmarginrule}
\definehighlight [RRR][style={\setbar[overstrike]}]
\starttext
% \startbodymatter % enable and lose colors
    Some text \color[red]{and some red text}.\par
  
       Here is some text that shows all color is not gone.
  \RR{Here is some text that shows all color is not gone.
       Here is some text that shows all color is not gone.}
       Here is some text that shows all color is not gone.\par

% \stopbodymatter  % enable and lose colors
\stoptext
