Indeed, a favorite color is "surprisepink!"
\definecolor [roscolux51] [h=aaacd5] % Touch of color when white light is not 
desirable.
\definecolor [surprisepink!] [roscolux51]


The TiKz syntax "red!50!green" is short, sweet and rather strange. But the 
question remains on how to support full TiKz use under ConTeXt.


In Metapost, we have 0.5[red,green] (does this work with colors?). Would 
\definecolor[xxx][0.5[red,green]] be a better alternative? Is such a syntax 
possible? Would this be readable?

The next step would be to allow \color[0.5[red,green]] (or 
\color[0.5(red,green)]), i.e. such syntax wherever a color can be used.
