Oh, thanks. I found it now.
\setupscreens
  [\c!screen=0.95]
I was just too blind to find it before.

I was thinking about that as well. Having a "screen" color would be
nice for those who got used to the old name.

In the meantime I figured it out what has happened with the "screen"
color on my display. TextMate uses Alt-Command-. for auto-completion
of "\stopwhatevercommandhasbeenstarted" in ConTeXt (an extremely
useful feature).
But Mac uses Ctrl-Alt-Command-. to increase the contrast of display.
So apparently I accidentally hit Ctrl several times without noticing
or bothering (and without knowing how to switch back), but enough to
make "95% white" disappear.
