Hi,

It seems to work when defining a color as described in
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Color_in_MetaPost , if that's an option:
________________________________________________
\startMPcode
color MyColor ;
MyColor = (.5, .25, .25) ;
fill fullsquare xyscaled (40mm, 15mm) withcolor MyColor ;
fill fullsquare xyscaled (40mm, 15mm) shifted (42mm, 0mm) withcolor
0.5MyColor ;
\stopMPcode
________________________________________________

Otherwise the solution proposed by Hans is probably better. (And may well
be better anyway!)

Cheers,
Florent
