If a color is defined using ConTeXt's definecolor it can be used with 
tikz. Here is an example (adapted from the tikz manual)

\usemodule[tikz]
\definecolor[mycolor] [g=.75,r=.15,b=.5]

\starttext

\start[tikzpicture]
       [parent anchor=east,child anchor=west,grow=east]
\tikzstyle{every node}=[ball color=mycolor,circle,text=white]
\tikzstyle{edge from parent}=[draw,dashed,thick,red]
\node {root}
       child {node {left}}
       child {node {right}
       child {node {child}}
       child {node {child}}
};
\stop[tikzpicture]

\stoptext
