As Aditya pointed out, these (probably used for tracing) colors are 
defined in such a way that they don't go via the context resolver. As 
these (few) colors are basically x windows colors, you can start your 
document with:

\usecolors[xwi]

which will set the context colors differently.

How is that supposed to work? Context will not inherit colors from tikz, 
the most you can expect is the reverse: tikz using context color 
definitions.
