You can use this helper method to get a Dictionary of each Color's name/value pair.

public static Dictionary GetStaticPropertyBag(Type t)
    {
        const BindingFlags flags = BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic;

        var map = new Dictionary();
        foreach (var prop in t.GetProperties(flags))
        {
            map[prop.Name] = prop.GetValue(null, null);
        }
        return map;
    }

Use is with:

var colors = GetStaticPropertyBag(typeof(Colors));

foreach(KeyValuePair colorPair in colors)
{
     Console.WriteLine(colorPair.Key);
     Color color = (Color) colorPair.Value;
}
