\setupcolors [state=start]
\definecolor [testcolor] [r=1,g=.62,b=.0625]

\starttext

\startcolor [testcolor]
\startcolumns [direction=left]
\dorecurse{15}{\input knuth\endgraf}
\stopcolumns
\stopcolor

\stoptext

And I find it's not perfectly what I really want. Is there any tricks I can do to treat the color correctly when I start a multi-column with the option "direction=left?"
