Hi Massi, Why don't you try this kind of parallel paragraphs ?
% \setuppapersize[A5] \defineparagraphs[TwoThird][n=2] % The second paragraph width is automatically calculated, if not specified. \setupparagraphs[TwoThird][1][width=.66\textwidth] \starttext \startTwoThird quotation{...{\it pourquoi y a-t-il quelque chose plutôt que rien ?} Parce que rien n’est plus simple et facile que quelque chose.

That's not style and color, it's a sort of two-column layout with the main text in the left column and annotations (comments) in the right one. Example (it does not work): \starttext This is the main text\sidenote{annotation} flowing in the left column... \stoptext resulting in |This is the main text flowing | annotation | |in the left column... | | You can do it with setuplayout and a wider right margin, using \inright for annotations, but it's for the whole document or a whole page. Is that possibile only for a section of text inside a page?
