Hi,
In addition to Mikael's solution, defining the color using the ConTeXt
function \definecolor seems to work:
\starttext
\definecolor[rose_color_ctx][r=.99609375,g=.796875,b=.99609375]
\startMPcode
color rose_color; rose_color = 1/256(255,204,255);
%now working
draw lmt_text [text
="\framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=rose_color_ctx,frame=on,
location=low]{a rose box}",];
%working
draw lmt_text [text
="\framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=green,frame=on, location=low]{a
green box}",] shifted (1cm,1cm);
%working
fill fullcircle scaled 2cm shifted (0,3cm) withcolor rose_color;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
Cheers,
Florent
