Hello Idris, I don't know where exactly you want the green-colored rectangular band.
Perhaps this one will do what you need:
\defineoverlay[helloidris][{\red Hello Idris}]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\showframe
\starttext
\setuplayout[top=3cm]
\setupbackgrounds[top][text]
[background={color,helloidris},backgroundcolor=green]
\input tufte
\stoptext
Patrick
