Wow! Thanks for the reply. It is interesting the kind of things when using Context or for that matter any typesetting system. I thought I chose the letter size for my layout and I am printing it on a letter size paper. Also, the PDF shows green everywhere. Hence, getting the color on whole page should be easy. From your responses, it seems it is not possible because of the way printers are designed.
