... fixed minor typo that actually produced new information! invalid color => black, valid color => transparent black!---it seems like the color disappears in the transfer but not the transparency.
Hey---
There seems to be a change with color transfer from ConTeXt to MetaPost. Using string references to defined (spot?) colors seemed to work but now does not; all of my colorful figures are now rendered only in shades of gray when using defined (spot?) colors….
The figure drawn by the MWE should have a dark orange border and a transparent (thin) orange fill. However, all colors of this sort seem to end up being a single shade of gray (e.g. black), rendering a box perfect for Halloween use but not for my current purposes. Is there a change to how colors defined in ConTeXt are referenced in MetaPost that I've missed or is there an issue with transferring color (name or parameter) information to MetaPost? Defined (spot?) colors work fine in ConTeXt but not in MetaPost.
Many thanks,
---K
