Ah, so that is why it is lowlevel. I wonder why the following does not work.
\setupbodyfontenvironment [default] [em={\italic\color[red]}]
The em key is a bit extra extra special: it has to be either 'italic' or 'slanted', everything else is ignored. This is because of the need to allow bold emphasis. (\bf\em == \bs or \bi). I would personally be happier if it would just use whatever was in the argument when it is *not* italic or slanted, instead of ignoring the argument, but that's how it is. Best wishes, Taco
