how to change the footnote text color in ConTeXt?

Question

The default color of footnote texts is black, if I want to change it into red, how can I achieve this?

I have used the

\setupfootnotes
  [textcolor=red]

or

\setupfootnotes
  [foregroundcolor=red]

or

\def\myfootnotetextcolor#1{%
  \startcolor[red]#1\stopcolor}
\setupfootnotes
  [textcommand={\myfootnotetextcolor}]

either method has no effect.

Use the \setupnotation command with footnote as argument. Example:

\setupnotation[footnote][color=red]

\starttext
  Some text
  \startfootnote
    and a footnote
  \stopfootnote
\stoptext

but why I can't find this command in the ConTeXt wiki except that in the introduction of footnote?

The footnote mechanism was changed about a year ago, which required modifications to the user interface. Unfortunately no one updated the wiki to reflect the changes.

\setupnotation causes "Undefined control sequence"
