Here is what I have done in a past ASP.net app:

// populate colors drop down (will work with other kinds of list controls)
Type colors = typeof(System.Drawing.Color);

    BindingFlags.Static);
foreach ( PropertyInfo info in colorInfo)
{
    ddlColor.Items.Add(info.Name);                
}

// Get the selected color
System.Drawing.Color selectedColor = 
    System.Drawing.Color.FromName(ddlColor.SelectedValue);
