Hi Jan, I donno if things have changed (ConTeXt is a fast moving target), so take my answers with a grain of salt.
(1) AFAIK there is no ACTIVE color management in ConTeXt in the sense that there is an automatic color conversion from one profiled(!) colorspace into another profiled color space. This means that all given colors (objects) have to be in the correct (profiled) color space already! Objects with embedded color profiles (e.g. a PDF bitmap graphic with icc profile) will use those. Objects without a profile will use the corresponding "default" color space profiles. These default color space profiles can be defined via "profile" in \setupbackend. This way every color in the PDF is defined properly. (2) I think so. Can't test, because my Windows 10 is beyond repair after three "upgrades" and Acrobat is not working properly anymore. (3) Judging from the size of the final PDF, the icc profile is not embedded. The profiles have to be installed in "the right place" (this includes ConTeXt but also the PDF viewer software). See "ICC profiles" section at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDFX (5) see (1) and (3) Hope this helps, Peter Am 2018-11-14 um 11:39 schrieb Jan U.
