Getting a list of System.Drawing.Colors ?

[StevenK]

I'm after a simple method / means of obtaining a list of all the colors that can be prefixed with the code :
System.Drawing.Color.{something here}
The results would be a list of all the strings, i.e. 'Red', 'Yellow', 'Orange', etc.
I'm guessing this should be an easy hit but I can't see it for looking.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

You can use reflection for this:

Type myType = typeof(System.Drawing.Color);
PropertyInfo[] myPropertyInfo = myType.GetProperties;

But be aware you'll get all the properties, not just the ones that are colors.
