\setupcolors[state=start]
\defineoverlay
[graybar]
[{\blackrule
[color=middlegray,
height=\dimexpr\paperheight+1cm\relax,
width=\dimexpr\paperwidth/2+1cm]%
\hskip\dimexpr\paperwidth/2+1cm\relax}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=graybar]
[rest of the document]
If you want the background on chapter pages etc. it makes sense
to integrate the background in a slightly different way but more
details about the layout needed for this to find the best solution.
