Here is a example which shows how you can change the background color
of a empty page before the chapter title.
\setuppagenumbering
[alternative=doublesided]
\startsetups [chapter:before]
\doifoddpageelse
{}
{\pushbackground[page]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=black]
\page[empty,right]
\popbackground}
\stopsetups
\setuphead
[chapter]
[page=yes,
before=\directsetup{chapter:before}]
\starttext
\startchapter[title={Knuth}]
\dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{knuth}}
\stopchapter
\startchapter[title={Zapf}]
\dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{zapf}}
\stopchapter
\startchapter[title={Ward}]
\dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{ward}}
\stopchapter
\stoptext
