Thank you Hans.

That's pretty close. Is there a way to make the opening quotation mark smaller? Ideally, control the font and colour?

You can try this (patch):

\protected\def\typo_initial_handle_indeed#1#2%
  {\dontleavehmode
   \begingroup
   \cdef\currentinitial{#1}%
   \setupcurrentinitial[#2]%
   \resetfontfeature % might be needed in more places
   \ifempty{\initialparameter\c!style}%
     \definedfont[\initialparameter\c!font]%
   \else
     \useinitialstyleparameter\c!style
   \fi
   \ifempty{\initialparameter\c!color}%
     \c_attr_color       \attributeunsetvalue
     \c_attr_transparency\attributeunsetvalue
   \else
     \useinitialcolorparameter\c!color
   \fi
   ......


\starttext

\setupbodyfont[dejavu,9pt]

\defineinitial[two][m=1,method=auto]

\setupquotation[symcolor=red]

\setinitial[two]             Knuth   :\ignorespaces\input knuth \par
\setinitial[two] \quotation {Knuth}  :\ignorespaces\input knuth \par

\stoptext

Cheers!
