Ligature color is not reliable

Ligature color is not reliable

[Jan Tosovsky]

Dear All,

for an illustration I wanted to colorize all ligatures, but the following
method is not reliable for three character ligatures - which ends up black.

While tested with Palatino, it can be simulated even with a default font
(however there are missing ffi and ffl ligatures).

\definefontfamily[palatino][rm][Palatino Linotype][features={default,
quality}]
\setupbodyfont[palatino]

\starttext
Je{\red ff}, the o{\red ffi}ce on the {\red fi}rst {\red fl}oor is o{\red
ffl}ine.
\stoptext

What is happening here? 

Thanks, Jan

Any idea how to properly colorize those ligatures?

Thanks, Jan
