Color is not like fonts! 

\farbe[blau]{Foo}

or 

\startfarbe[blau]
Foo
\stopfarbe

will do the job. 

In your case, when typesetting the pagebody, context switches back to
black, and after the page is flushed, blue is activated again,  so there
happens to be a node on the page. This keeps on going. By applying
grouping, context know where to stop. Catching this bordercase is on my
todo list (but with low priority, since I will look into it when I
rework/document/extend the pagebody module).
