So, do you really think that much code is involved to get something like that?
to start with:
\setupcolors
[state=start]
\setupbodyfont
[lbr,11pt]
\setuplayout
[footer=0cm,
width=middle,
height=middle]
\setupfloats
[ntop=100]
\definecolor [NopColor] [....]
\definecolor [AltColor] [....]
\definecolor [TheColor] [....]
\setupwhitespace
[big]
\setuptolerance
[tolerant]
\setupitemize
[each]
[color=TheColor]
\definedescription
[switch]
[headstyle=type,
headcolor=TheColor,
location=serried,
width=broad]
\defineenumeration
[topic]
[location=serried,
width=broad,
headstyle=,
headcolor=TheColor,
text=,
left={[},
right={]}]
\setuphead
[section]
[style=\ss\bfb,
color=TheColor]
\setuptype
[color=AltColor]
\setuptyping
[color=AltColor]
\setuptabulate
[rulethickness=.5pt,
rulecolor=AltColor]
\setuptables
[rulethickness=.5pt,
rulecolor=AltColor]
\setupframedtexts
[rulethickness=.5pt,
framecolor=TheColor,
width=\textwidth]
\setuplist
[section]
[alternative=c,
color=TheColor,
textcolor=black,
pagecolor=black]
The title page is something like (I admit that it's ugly code):
\def\TitlePage#1#2#3#4#5% nummer hoek titel auteur screen
{\defineoverlay
[logo]
[{\externalfigure
[somempfile.#1]
[width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight]}]
\setupbackgrounds
[page]
[background=logo]
\definecolor[Gray][s=#5]
\startstandardmakeup
\BigFont \setupinterlinespace \vfill \setupalign[left] \let\\=\par
\noindent\color[Gray]{#3}\par
\stopstandardmakeup
\setupbackgrounds
[page]
[background=]}
and the colofonpage is a standard pragma thing
