I have downloaded
cont-mpd.zip  cont-ppc.zip  cont-tmf.zip
and unzipped them into
texmf-dist of my 2014 TL (and rebuilt the formats and ls-R).
I have tried mtxrun --script update but it fails with
resolvers       | tds | no 'texmf-linux-64' under tree
'/opt/luatex/texlive/2014/tex'
(with a missed newline in my linux box)

The example works if one copies colo-rgb.mkii as colo-rgb.tex in the same
folder of the example
so I guess that we need to find a suitable location for colo-rgb.tex in the
tds
(I dont know if it's safe to add colo-rgb.tex to the base folder of
context, but I suspect it is not)
