1. Put your table settings in a setups-block and load the one you want 
at the start of your table.

2. You don't need \setupcolors[state=start] because colors are enabled 
by default (since a veee...eeery long time).

3. You can replace \bTD ... \eTD with \bTH ... \eTH for table headers to 
get bold text.

%%%% begin example
\startsetups[table:a]
   \setupTABLE [each] [frame=off,width=1cm,height=1cm,align={middle,lohi}]
   \setupTABLE [each] [background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray]
\stopsetups

\startsetups[table:b]
   \setupTABLE [each] 
[frame=off,width=2cm,height=1.2\lineheight,align=middle]
   \setupTABLE [each] [topframe=on,bottomframe=on]
\stopsetups

\starttext

\bTABLE
   \bTR
     \bTD A \eTD
     \bTD B \eTD
   \eTR
   \bTR
     \bTD C \eTD
     \bTD D \eTD
   \eTR
\eTABLE

\blank

\bTABLE[setups=table:a]
   \bTR
     \bTD A \eTD
     \bTD B \eTD
   \eTR
   \bTR
     \bTD C \eTD
     \bTD D \eTD
   \eTR
\eTABLE

\blank

\bTABLE[setups=table:b]
   \bTR
     \bTD A \eTD
     \bTD B \eTD
   \eTR
   \bTR
     \bTD C \eTD
     \bTD D \eTD
   \eTR
\eTABLE

\stoptext
%%%% end example
