Notes (local notes excluded because they use a different placement system) and margin texts ignore the global text color because both mechanism reset colors and many other settings to avoid unwanted output from local changes in the main text etc. Even though there is a comment about this problem for margin notes in the source it wasn’t fixed yet but I think it makes sense to to so. The problem with the black frames for natural tables are a result of the explicit framecolor setup for it (I guess to avoid problems when you use metapost backgrounds which use the framecolor value). A possible way to fix this is to add a framecolor setup to \setupcolors which argument is now used as default color for the frame of natural tables, this way can use this color also in other commands (core functions as well as third party modules) to set a default value.
