Dear Wolfgang,
So this the example now,
\setuppapersize
[A4]
\starttext
% hex
\definecolor[almond][x=EED9C4]
\definecolor[mysticmaroon][x=AD4379]
\blackrule[color=mysticmaroon,height=3.ex, width=13.50cm]\par
\defineframed
[Me]
[background=color,backgroundcolor=almond] \nointerlineskip
\Me[frame=on, corner=rectangular, topframe=off, bottomframe=off, framecolor=mysticmaroon,width=13.50cm]
%hex
\definecolor[mysticmaroon][x=AD4379]
Hey, \color[mysticmaroon]{Hello}
\startcolumns[rule=on,n=2,tolerance=verytolerant,color=mysticmaroon]
\color[mysticmaroon]{Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new
system must not only be the implementer and first ..\bf D.E. Knuth}
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
and after compiling it, I get:
Command Line: context.exe --synctex=-1 "column.tex"
Startup Folder: C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\Neuer Ordner

Dear List,
I have tried an example, where I would like to have sentences in color in a column, but there is something wrong.
\setuppapersize [A5]
\starttext % hex \definecolor=[MediumViolet][h=8F47B3]
\startcolumns[rule=on,n=2,tolerance=verytolerant, foregroundcolor=Mediumviolet] Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new system must not only be the implementer and first .. \bf D.E. Knuth} \stopcolumns
\stoptext
1. Use "x" as key to set the color with a hey value, while the "h" key works to set the color it is intended for hsv-values. 2. You have to replace "foregroundcolor=..." with "color=...". 3. You have to pass the correct name as argument to the color key but in your example you use an uppercase V in \definecolor but a lowercase v in \startcolumns. 4. Please test your example before you send them to the list because there is a } at the end of the text without a previous {.
