The new code appears to work in general, but only if no shading to
transparent is being used:
\definecolor [trans] [a=multiply, t=.5, s=.5]

fill fullcircle scaled 10cm withcolor \MPcolor{trans};
fill fullsquare xyscaled (15cm, 15cm)

How to make transparent shadings work with the new mechanism?
withtransparency (1,.5)
However, this makes the entire shade transparent. How to shade from
one colour to transparent using withtransparency to achieve an
effect like in the example below?
that isn't how shading works, it's a vector from one color to the other
(same color space eventually) and transparency is a property of the whole
\definecolor [trans] [a=multiply, t=0]
\setupbackgrounds [page] [background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray]
\starttext
\startMPcode
fill fullsquare xyscaled (15cm, 15cm)
withshademethod "linear"
withshadevector (0, 1)
%% colour doens't match
%% withshadecolors (red, lightgray)
%% output is ok with \MPcolor
withshadecolors (red, \MPcolor{lightgray})
%% ??
%% withtransparency (1, .5)
;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
Furthermore, why do the tex and MP colours differ? Wouldn't it make
sense to use the same colour definitions? Or was that intentional?
it's already hard enough to have what we have now (tex and mp are
different species)
