Is there a (hidden) option that allows for changing the font color of external included pdfs \copypages[file.pdf][color=blue] does not work as intended ;-) .Floris

No, it can’t. You can try to use transparency: put a colored area on top of the PDF and find the right transparency mode (15 or 13, I guess). https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Transparency Hraban

I don't mind experimenting with it.
e.g. I try to change the font color in existing pdf documents from black
to blue.
At the moment my workaround is using mutool to export pages to svg.
mutool convert -o page.svg -F svg input.pdf
then change the font color
sed -i 's/
