\framed [frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=green,width=598,height=50]
{Some text}
(Of course, you need to put correct dimensions for the width and height
and also set an offset.)
Untested, so the syntax may be not quite correct.
You might want to use
\setupframedtext
and
\startframedtext
\stopframedtext
if you will be doing this often.
There is probably also a way to define a named framed text.
