Sorry I still do not see your white box. Perhaps something is corrupted
in my context installation.
I had a quick look into mpobj source and I tried to remove default white
background, but I was not successful.
Me either.

P.S. I played with raw MP code:
input metaobj;
beginfig(1)
fill fullcircle scaled 1cm withcolor red;
color t; t:=(1,1,0);
%setObjectDefaultOption(Box)(fillcolor)(t);
newBox.test();
Obj(test).c=origin;
drawObj(test);
endfig;
end.
Your color is not transparent, so it will work as expected: no white
box.

Re: [NTG-context] metaobj and transparent colors with \MPcolor
Sorry, I can not reproduce your example. I get only red page with black page number in header. No white box. And I do not known metaobj macro. The graphics won't compile without metaobj, which is a very nice macro package for metapost, available at CTAN/graphics/metapost/contrib/macros/metaobj/ I, of course, checked if the package metaobj is installed and loaded. Perhaps my is too old (v0.83)? I had a look to metaobj manual and it is good to know about it. Thank you.

[NTG-context] metaobj and transparent colors with \MPcolor
Hi,
I try to achieve transparently filled objects using the metaobj package.
However, transparency is ignored completely in the output, I just get a
normal white. Here is my test file:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=red]
\startMPenvironment[global]
\definecolor[Durchsichtig][r=1.0,g=1.0,b=1.0,t=0.0,a=normal]
\stopMPenvironment
\startreusableMPgraphic{test}
input metaobj;
setObjectDefaultOption(Box)(fillcolor)(\MPcolor{Durchsichtig});
newBox.test(btex Transparent? etex) filled(true);
Obj(test).c=origin;
drawObj(test);
\stopreusableMPgraphic
\starttext
\reuseMPgraphic{test}
\stoptext
If I use the fillcolor as an argument to the object
newBox.test(btex Transparent? etex) filled(true)
fillcolor(\MPcolor{Durchsichtig});
I get error messages from the mpost run. So it seems that metaobj and
\MPcolor don't like each other.
Any ideas how to circumvent this problem?
Regards,
Eckhart

Re: [NTG-context] metaobj and transparent colors with \MPcolor
Sorry, I can not reproduce your example. I get only red page with black
page number in header. No white box. And I do not known metaobj macro.
But I have a question. It is really needed to surround \definecolor by
\startMPenvironment? Since \definecolor has to result to \pdfobj and
\pdfliteral (pdftex primitives) and propagation to mpost (which is EPS
not PDF generator) has no sence. Only reference to color is needed and
it is done via \MPcolor. Am I right?
