Hi Hans, the subject is re-used from an older mail http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080912.160921.cb5bba9d.en.html

Currently I try to adapt some mkii code to mkiv. Overprinting should only be enabled if - a given maximum font size is not exceeded and - the current text color is black.

So I also need \currentcolorname (or something similar) for that test.

[colo-new.mkiv:] \def\currentcolorname{\s!black} % todo

You were so kind to add \doifblackelse in mkiv, but without a working \currentcolorname it is pretty useless at the moment. I want to closure the (inconvenient) prepress topic and overprinting is the last unsolved problem. Any chance that this will be implemented in the near future?
