Dear devs, The \basegrid macro ignores its color option. That's kind of obvious because as I look at the code I don't see the color being communicated to Metapost at any point. When you're at it, could you please also add a rulethickness parameters? Thanks! Reproducible in TL2018 pertest and latest beta. MWE is below (as always). Cheers, Henri --- \starttext \basegrid[color=red] \color[red]{\basegrid} \stoptext
