Started for myself some learning on colors in ConTeXt. In the manual there is a nice colorpalette shown (section 6, page 141). However, I cannot reproduce this. The following minimal example shows colored texts, but \showcolor[color-name] just produces black boxes with ominous zeroes behind it.
What am I missing here? The wiki didn't procure more information then the manual.

The command is used to show all the defined colors in a colo-xxx.(mkii|mkiv) file, e.g.
\starttext
\showcolor[rgb]
\stoptext

Hi Hans,
Indeed as Wolfgang points out, in the file
colo-ini.mkii
it is said that:
%D But let's not forget that we also have the more traditional
%D non||related colors. These show up after:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \showcolor [name]
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D Where \type{name} for instance can be \type{rgb}.
Actually « name » can be also xwi or pra. There another command is also given, \showcolorgroup, for showing colors such as in:
\showcolorgroup [red] [vertical,name,number]
or
\showcolorgroup [red]
And the following can be used to see the setups:
\showsetups{showcolor}
(Actually in the source there is a mistyping « \showsetup » instead of « \showsetups »).
Best regards: OK
