Notes (local notes excluded because they use a different placement system)
and margin texts ignore the global text color because both mechanism reset
colors and many other settings to avoid unwanted output from local changes
in the main text etc.
Even though there is a comment about this problem for margin notes in
the source it wasn’t fixed yet but I think it makes sense to to so.
The problem with the black frames for natural tables are a result of the explicit
framecolor setup for it (I guess to avoid problems when you use metapost
backgrounds which use the framecolor value). A possible way to fix this is to
add a framecolor setup to \setupcolors which argument is now used as default
color for the frame of natural tables, this way can use this color also in other
commands (core functions as well as third party modules) to set a default value.
