Dear Hans,

thanks for your reply.  Indeed there are color definitions in
`pgfutil-context.def`. However, they are commented out with the
message

% no need for x colors (users can load it if needed)
...
%\pgfutil@definecolor{gray}{gray}{0.5}

If I add

\csname pgfutil@definecolor\endcsname{gray}{gray}{0.5}

to my document the gray shows up fine.  So that's for sure a feasible
workaround.

Can you comment on the phrase »no need for x colors (users can load it
if needed)«?  I'm not quite sure what it means and it suggests that
there exists a proper solution to my color problem.

normally you want the same colors in tikz images as in context so then
defining them in tikz is creating incompatibilities (your case is the
reverse and a-typical)

However, without such redefinitions, tikz does not understand ConTeXt
colors. I use a similar workaround in my documents as well.

I have no clue what you mean.

\definecolor[red][g=1]

\startTEXpage
    \starttikzpicture
       \fill[red] (0,0) circle (1cm);
    \stoptikzpicture
\stopTEXpage

works ok here and gives green. So, one can collect a list of colors defined in tikz in a colo-imp-tikz.mkiv and load that one if needed.

I guess it is a bug with pgfplots rather than tikz (which also means that it may be easier to pursuade pgfplot maintainers to use low level tikz interface, since tikz is already playing nice with context).

\usemodule[tikz,pgfplots]
\definecolor[red][g=1]

\startmode[bug]
\unprotect
\pgfutil@definecolor{red}   {rgb} {0,1,0}
\protect
\stopmode

\starttext
\startTEXpage
     \starttikzpicture
       \startaxis
         \addplot[color=red] coordinates { (0,0) (1,1) };
       \stopaxis
     \stoptikzpicture
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
