Hi,

I have written up a question on TeX.SE:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/135543/pdf-colour-space-and-context

Aditya mentioned that the problem with transparencies is that it is
likely a known bug with Adobe Acrobat Reader: "I remember similar
questions being asked in the past, and the conclusion was that it was
a known bug in Adobe Reader."

Has anyone else come across this issue and found a way to resolve it in ConTeXt?

I ran into what I think is a similar issue with LaTeX and was able to
resolve it using the following command in the preamble:

  \pdfpageattr{/Group << /S /Transparency /I true /CS /DeviceRGB>>}

I have not yet tried to reproduce the problem in either LuaLaTeX or LaTeX.

Kindest regards.

\setupcolors[pagecolormodel=auto]

might help

in acrobat, when transparency is used, a different route is followed (at 
least in the past) when rendering

also, rendering colorspaces might be adapted to the output medium so 
it's a combination of colorspace, monitor/paper, calibration, 
knockout/overprint, transparency groups, assumptions etc

in the end, a print on a proper device is the reference

This should be done automagically in pdfTeX (at least it once was).
