If something is out of context it means it is out of its usual position, environment, or away from its usual associations, like a fish out of water, the wrong word in a phrase, a sentence whose meaning is confused when isolated from its explanatory paragraph. There are lots of examples, as people, words, colors, shapes, behaviors, etc can be "out of context".

Saying something is out of context means that it is being presented without the relevant surrounding information or circumstances that would help to fully understand it. This can lead to misinterpretation or misunderstanding of the original message or intention.
