> You need to specify both background=color and

I just tried this, now I lose the (formerly grey) background band
completey; and there is no effect in the overlay:

==============
\def\ALAVIband{\midaligned{
|               \vbox{\hsize=15cm
|               \setupcolors[state=start]
|               \setupbackground[background=color, %%% your change
|                                foregroundcolor=darkgreen,
|                                backgroundcolor=darkblue
|                                ]
|               \startbackground
|               \hbox{}\vskip14pt
|               \midaligned{\tfa THE ALAVI FOUNDATION}

|               \stopbackground
|               }
|              }
|             }

-------

\setupbackgrounds[page][leftedge][background=color,  %%% your change
|                                  background=backgr,
|                                  backgroundcolor=darkgreen]

==============

Any ideas?

Best
