I have no clue what you mean.

\definecolor[red][g=1]

\startTEXpage
     \starttikzpicture
        \fill[red] (0,0) circle (1cm);
     \stoptikzpicture
\stopTEXpage

works ok here and gives green. So, one can collect a list of colors 
defined in tikz in a colo-imp-tikz.mkiv and load that one if needed.
