 The most simple one I expect to work would be

\def\highlight[#1]{%
  \bgroup
  \setuphighlightcolors[{#1}]% never forget those {},
%                            % since [] aren't balanced!
  \processinlineverbatim\egroup}% \egroup is an argument to
%                               % \processinlineverbatim here


 (I did have some mildly elaborate low-level code here, but upon
searching for the ConTeXt way of switching of everything, I came upon
\processinlineverbatim, which probably does everything you want.  If it
does not, please come back and I'll send you something more low-level
that should.)
