I made a workaround in that way, but it's still a bug ...
I have no clue what the ! does apart from defining a color red at 10% but I do know that context ignores it.

The '!' is actually pretty neat, since it allows you to blend colors. By default, tikz blends colors with white, so
red!10
means mix 10% red with 90% white. This has the advantage that I can take any color, say
\definecolor[mycolor][r=0.42,g=1.,b=0.2]
and lighten it 50% by just using
mycolor!50
I can also blend two colors together, using
colorA!50!colorB
I'm also pretty sure that context didn't always ignore the exclamation mark. Is there a way to reverse this behaviour?
I'm pretty sure that I never implemented something using a questionmark. However, we do have: \definecolor[red-t] [r=1,t=0.5,a=1] \definecolor[green-t][g=1,t=0.5,a=1] \defineintermediatecolor[mycolora][0.5,red,green] \defineintermediatecolor[mycolorb][0.5,red-t,green-t] \starttext test {\mycolora OEPS} test test {\mycolorb OEPS} test \stoptext I could probably support \definecolor[xxx][0.5(red,green)] \definecolor[xxx][0.5(red)] which looks better than this ! and is less likely to conflict with names as abc! is a rather value color name.
