gray to have the same grayscale value as the tikzgray.  As is shown

that is as Aditya mentioned probably due to the fact that some of these 
built in colors are not using the normal color resolver and there's 
nothing we can do about (apart from rewriting part of the tikz color 
interface which is not on my agenda)



So it seems as if gray *should* be propagated from ConTeXt to TikZ,
which apparently takes place when loading TikZ.  Moving
\definecolor[gray][s=0.5] before \usemodule[tikz] shows this behavior.

The question is how to keep colors from ConTeXt and TikZ in sync.


by defining them in your document (at least these 10 or so predefined 
colors)


(you could have similar issues with colors defined in rgb or cmky in one 
or the other)

Adding \usecolors[xwi] to the example does not change anything.  Looking
at base/colo-imp-xwi.mkiv revealed, that it does not alter the way
colors are defined, but just defines a huge bunch of additional ones.

I'm very sorry for the confusion.  What I did was to adjust ConTeXt's
gray to have the same grayscale value as the tikzgray.  As is shown

In pgfutil-context.def there is though

\let\pgfutil@registergray \pgf@context@registergray

So it seems as if gray *should* be propagated from ConTeXt to TikZ,
which apparently takes place when loading TikZ.  Moving
\definecolor[gray][s=0.5] before \usemodule[tikz] shows this behavior.

The question is how to keep colors from ConTeXt and TikZ in sync.

Dear Aditya and Hans,

I'm not so sure about it being a bug in pgfplots.  I played a little and
encountered the following.


As Aditya pointed out, these (probably used for tracing) colors are 
defined in such a way that they don't go via the context resolver. As 
these (few) colors are basically x windows colors, you can start your 
document with:


\usecolors[xwi]

which will set the context colors differently.


\usemodule[tikz]
\starttext

% Original gray
\blackrule[color=gray,width=1cm,height=1pt]

\starttikzpicture
  \draw[gray,line width=1pt] (0,0) -- (1,0);
\stoptikzpicture

% New colors
\definecolor[gray][s=0.5]
\unprotect
\pgfutil@definecolor{tikzgray}{gray}{0.5}
\protect

% Now ConTeXt's gray = tikzgray
\blackrule[color=gray,width=1cm,height=1pt]


How is that supposed to work? Context will not inherit colors from tikz, 
the most you can expect is the reverse: tikz using context color 
definitions.



\starttikzpicture
  \draw[tikzgray,line width=1pt] (0,0) -- (1,0);
\stoptikzpicture

% Inside TikZ gray is still off
\starttikzpicture
  \draw[gray,line width=1pt] (0,0) -- (1,0);
\stoptikzpicture

\stoptext

Henri

Re: [NTG-context] Different colors in LaTeX and ConTeXt

Dear list,

I wanted to draw some nice pictures using TikZ and pgfplots, but then I
noticed that the colors of the ticks in my pgfplots graph were unusually
bright and it looked very weird.   So I set up a test


\usemodule[tikz]
\starttext
\starttikzpicture
  \draw[help lines,very thick] (0,0) -- (1,0);
\stoptikzpicture

\externalfigure[test-crop]
\stoptext


where I produced test-crop.pdf from the following plain TeX sample,
which I also typeset with LuaTeX 0.95 (to make sure it's not a LuaTeX
regression).


\input luatex85.sty
\input tikz
\tikzpicture
  \draw[help lines,very thick] (0,0) -- (1,0);
\endtikzpicture
\bye


Attached you find the output of the ConTeXt example and you can see that
the color of the upper line (the one produced with TikZ inside ConTeXt)
has a much brighter color than the one produced with plain TeX.

I'm using ConTeXt MkIV distributed with TL 2016.

How can I adjust the colors in ConTeXt to match the ones produced by
plain TeX?  I need the adjustment in that direction, because I also have
old images produced with plain TeX/LaTeX that I'd like to seamlessly
integrate in my ConTeXt documents.


you need to figure out the default definitions in tikz then (i suppose 
'help lines' is related to some color)
