Hi Hraban & Seyal

I can confirm that converting the *.svg file into a *.pdf file displays 
the colour shades correctly ...
(I used Gimp to export the smile.svg file to a smile03.pdf file).

The MWE below works correctly, even if you have to make finer 
adjustments to place the figure in a precise position on the page. As 
I'm in the process of enriching and clarifying a few pages of the 
ConTeXt wiki and the French wikibook, I'm interested in the details 
concerning the position of figures, images and photos etc. So please let 
me know (in private mail) how you make your documents (a MWE will do).

\starttext

\input tufte


\externalfigure[smile03.pdf][conversion=mp]

\stoptext



It seems to me that Pablo has been struggling with the fine graining of 
PDF files in recent months, but I think it was more about the 
information contained in the PDF output than the processing of PDF 
images in *.tex file output.
