Dear Till/Christian/Hans, The following is broken in ConTeXt MKIV (assuming the usage of patched TikZ to allow running it under MKIV at all), but works fine in ConTeXt MKII: \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \starttikzpicture \node[circle,ball color=red!10] (a) at (0,0,0) {$p_x$}; \stoptikzpicture \stoptext Mojca

I made a workaround in that way, but it's still a bug ... Mojca

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? PS I've tried using spot colors in context, but that doesn't seem to work: \definespotcolor[mycolor][red][p=.1] -- Michael Murphy MPhys Institute für Quanteninformationsverarbeitung Room N25/4409 Universität Ulm Albert-Einstein-Allee 11 89081 Ulm Deutschland tel +49 731 50 22824 fax +49 731 50 22839 www.uni-ulm.de/nawi/nawi-qiv.html

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.

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.

OK, thanks. Last question then: is there a way to redefine standard colors? Something like: \redefinecolor[red][r=0,g=1,b=0] -- Michael Murphy

That will be a nice feature to have (especially, if it can also be used with \definedcolor) Aditya

You mean \colored[0.5(red)] ?

Indeed. That is what I meant. I did not know that the metapost like syntax worked for \colored. Aditya

Indeed, a favorite color is "surprisepink!" \definecolor [roscolux51] [h=aaacd5] % Touch of color when white light is not desirable. \definecolor [surprisepink!] [roscolux51] The TiKz syntax "red!50!green" is short, sweet and rather strange. But the question remains on how to support full TiKz use under ConTeXt. In Metapost, we have 0.5[red,green] (does this work with colors?). Would \definecolor[xxx][0.5[red,green]] be a better alternative? Is such a syntax possible? Would this be readable? The next step would be to allow \color[0.5[red,green]] (or \color[0.5(red,green)]), i.e. such syntax wherever a color can be used. Alan

You can use \definecolor[mycolor][.5(red,green)] in the current beta, but I wonder if \color[0.5(red,green)] makes much sense as that would complicate (and definitely slow down) color switching. But, as Aditya pointer out you can use {\colored[0.5(green)]test} already. I don't want to get away too much from the principle of defining colors using names.
