Coloring hrule's and vrule's with \color[aColor]{\vrule heightdepthwidth} works only if aColor is one of the standardcolors like red, blue, gray, etc. But defining other colors don't color the rule \definecolor[mygray][r=.6,g=.7,b=.7]\color[mygray]{\vrule heightdepthwidth} typesets the rule in black, not in mygray. The strange is that the lines around \framed[framecolor=mygray] do get colored correctly.

How can I accomplish the general coloring of vrule's and hrule's?

\blackrules.

%D \macros
%D   {blackrules}
%D
%D One can call for a sequence of black rules, if needed
%D equally spaced over the given width.
%D
%D \showsetup{blackrules}
%D
%D The two alternative calls are therefore:
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D Tell me, is this according to the \blackrules[n=6]?
%D These \blackrules[alternativevariant=b,n=10,distance=.2em,width=4cm] are quite clear.
%D \stopbuffer


Despite its name, \blackrules can be of any color. The default options are

\setupblackrules
  [\c!n=3,
   \c!width=1em,
   \c!height=1ex,
   \c!depth=\!!zeropoint,
   \c!alternative=\c!a,
   \c!distance=.25ex,
   \c!color=]
