I'd like to set a default background color for all the tables in my document.
This is what I have tried (using the latest beta):

\setuptables[background=color,backgroundcolor=red]
\starttext
\starttable[|cm|]
       \HL
           \NC \bf R \NC \AR
           \NC A     \NC \AR
       \HL
           \NC \bot  \NC \AR
           \NC 1     \NC \AR
 \stoptable
\stoptext

No red background, though. What am I missing?

The next step would be how to use a hatched pattern, but for now I'd
be happy with a flat color.
The table environment does not support backgrounds but you can use the tabulate environment.

\starttext

\defineframedcontent[nicola][frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow]

\setuptabulate[frame=nicola]

\starttabulate[|k{0.25}cm|]
\HL
\NC \bf R \NC\NR
\NC A     \NC\NR
\HL
\NC \bot  \NC\NR
\NC 1     \NC\NR
\stoptabulate

\stoptext
