Hi,
Not sure exactly what you are after, but this could work (I saved your
svg as juh.svg)
/Mikael
\startuseMPgraphic{juh}{juhcolor}
picture juh ;
juh := lmt_svg [
filename = "juh.svg",
origin = true ] ;
draw juh ysized OverlayHeight withcolor \MPvar{juhcolor} ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\setupMPvariables[juh][juhcolor=darkred]
\defineoverlay[juh][\useMPgraphic{juh}]
\starttext
\framed[align=normal,width=7cm,background=juh]{\samplefile{ward}}
\setupMPvariables[juh][juhcolor=darkblue]
\framed[align=normal,width=7cm,background=juh]{\samplefile{ward}}
\stoptext
