Just for (meta)fun, I tried a few experiments with transparent colors. The example below gives a black circle instead of a red one. Is it that transparent colors aren't part of metafun -- which I can easily live with since color printing is too expensive still, alas -- or have I omitted an essential command?
No, as your example works here (beta 17.09.). I also tried your example at contextgarden (same beta) and it worked too (using Firefox). Maybe you also need \runMPTEXgraphicstrue (enabled in my cont-sys.tex)? Greetings, Peter

The metapost output (testfile-mpgraph.1) always contains the following color setting, no matter what arguments I pass to transparent() :
0.123 0.003 0.001 setrgbcolor
Which is close to black.
(This is all with ConTeXt 2006.08.08. The live ConTeXt gives a square saying "undefined".)
