Here's how to do it in code using reflection. The following will dump all predefined WPF color names to Output:

using System.Reflection;

void ListAllColors()
{
    Type colorsType = typeof(System.Windows.Media.Colors);
    PropertyInfo[] colorsTypePropertyInfos = colorsType.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static);

    foreach (PropertyInfo colorsTypePropertyInfo in colorsTypePropertyInfos)
        Debug.WriteLine(colorsTypePropertyInfo.Name);
}

And to put them in a combobox, you could simply change the last line to:

_comboBox.Items.Add(colorsTypePropertyInfo.Name);
