\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
% \my.. : namespace
% ..style: you could use any value defined with \definecolor
% ..color: one of ConTeXt's font/style switching command like \bf, \ss, \tfa ...
\def\mycolor{red}
\def\mystyle{bold}
\doattributes{my}{style}{color}{Red bold text.}
\def\mycolor{green}
\def\mystyle{\ss\tfb}
\doattributes{my}{style}{color}{Green big text.}
\stoptext

The \setuptitle command is used to set the color and style for the
elements and the version with one argument is used to set the text.
\setuptitle
[\c!title]
[\c!style=\tfd,
\c!color=]
Print the 'document title' in a bigger size.
\setuptitle
[\c!author,\c!date]
[\c!style=\tfa,
\c!color=]
Print the 'author name' and the 'date' in a slightly bigger size.
\setuptitle
[\c!title=,
\c!author=,
\c!date=\currentdate]
No content for the 'author' and the 'document title' by default but set
the value 'date' to the current day.
