\setupcolors[pagecolormodel=auto]

might help

in acrobat, when transparency is used, a different route is followed (at 
least in the past) when rendering

also, rendering colorspaces might be adapted to the output medium so 
it's a combination of colorspace, monitor/paper, calibration, 
knockout/overprint, transparency groups, assumptions etc

in the end, a print on a proper device is the reference
