There are many ways to handle it, like this one: 

% output=pdftex

\starttext

\setupheadertexts[pagenumber]

test \page test \page test \page

\start
  \setuppagenumber[state=stop]
  \setupheadertexts[I]
  \startstandardmakeup[headerstate=start]  color \stopstandardmakeup
  \setupheadertexts[II]
  \startstandardmakeup[headerstate=start]  color \stopstandardmakeup
  \setupheadertexts[III]
  \startstandardmakeup[headerstate=start]  color \stopstandardmakeup
  \setupheadertexts[IV]
  \startstandardmakeup[headerstate=start]  color \stopstandardmakeup
  \setupheadertexts[V]
  \startstandardmakeup[headerstate=start]  color \stopstandardmakeup
  \setuppagenumber[state=start]
\stop

test \page test \page test

\stoptext

alternatively one can do things like: \setuppagenumber[number=-8], use
subpage numbers for counting the roman range, but this is probably overkill
for what you want. 

you may need to add doublesided=no to the settings of standard makeup.
