Yes, the code given by Seyal gives only the circle vith eyes and mouth without colors (on my computer). But, It seems that one have to deal with a more complex lines of code. If I'm not mistaken, MetaPost alone natively supports only the 3 colours red, green and blue. To support CMYK colour gradients, MetaPost needs to work with Metafun (see here : https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Color_in_MetaPost).

Perhaps an image in *.png format is required. But I can't give any advice, as I'm not an experienced MetaPost/Metafun user.

see this code below and the result as attached file :

\starttext

\input tufte

\externalfigure[smile.svg][conversion=mp]

\stoptext

I can confirm the problem also with the regular image call

\externalfigure[smile.svg][conversion=mp]
