I'm trying to play with colors in textext inclusions:

\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupMPpage[offset=2mm]
\startuseMPgraphic{test}
        label(textext("\color[green]{XYZ}"), (0,0));
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
\forceMPTEXgraphictrue
\startMPpage
        \includeMPgraphic{test}
\stopMPpage
\stoptext

This label does not appear in green, although the intermediate files contain:
% figure 1 : texpictures[1] := btex \color [green]{XYZ} etex ;

Is it possible that \setupcolors[state=start] is not communicated?
If so, how and where should this be done?
\setupcolors[state=start] cannot be put inside the textext as it is a preamble thing (tried it)

(note: although one could do: "label(textext("XYZ"), (0,0) withcolor green;" this interferes with other macro operations I want to perform)

yours sincerely,
dr. H. van der Meer
