The is a big different between the “context” and the “texexec” commands, with “context” you use MkIV (LuaTeX) to process your document while “texexec” uses MkII (pdfTeX [default] or XeTeX) to produce the PDF. The reason why you don’t get colors is that they are disabled in MkII and you have to enable them first with \setupcolors[state=start] but for MkIV this has changed and colors are now enabled by default.
