I hope this can help;
see chapter "Color and background" in cont-eni.pdf

%------------------
\setupcolors[state=start] %% useful: default=stop
\setupbackground[state=start] %% useless: default=start
\starttext
\placetable
{Just a table.}
%% from cont-eni.pdf  :``The command \background expects
%% an argument. Because a table is `grouped' it will generate
%% by itself and no extra braces are necessary.``
\background
\starttable[|c|c|c|]
\HL
\VL red    \VL green    \VL blue    \VL \AR
\VL cyan \VL magenta \VL yellow \VL \AR
\HL
\stoptable
\stoptext
