You can retrieve any JSON object that you have access to with GetJSON. Here is an example with Razor an MVC Controller.

jQuery Code

$(function () {
            $.getJSON('@Url.Action("GetColorsJson", "Json")', function (jsonData) {
                var css = new customContentJs.css.apply(jsonData);
            });
        });

Controller Code

using System.Web.Mvc;
using DAL;
using Newtonsoft.Json;

    public class JsonController : Controller
    {
        private readonly CustomContentContext _db = new CustomContentContext();

        /// 

        /// Return a json serialized object of user saved colors
        /// 
        /// 
        public string GetColorsJson()
        {
            return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(_db.Site.Include("Colors"));
        }
    }
