Discover the real color behind EnvironmentColors

I'm developing a visual studio isolated shell application and I need to know the colors associated to every property of the class EnvironmentColors. Unfortunately every property seems to be a key to a sort of dictionary or something similar. Any idea to get the color associated?

Thanks!

I wrote a blog post based on this question because I didn't see how the top voted answer addressed it. There was still the question of; what colour is property XYZ in theme A?

The blog has a (massive, but manageable) image of all the colours, for 3 themes. Snippet of the swatch I would love to upload it here but the file is 3.6MB and there's a 2MB limit, also it is about 40K pixels in height, so that might not be welcome inline!

EnvironmentColors are for direct binding to your WPF controls. To get the current value of a theme color in VS 2012+ you can use IVsUIShell5.GetThemedColor (should be re-read on theme changes).

foreach (var ColorProperty in typeof(System.Drawing.SystemColors).GetProperties())
{
    var Color = (System.Drawing.Color) ColorProperty.GetValue(null, null);

    Console.WriteLine("{0}, R={1}, G={2}, B={3}", ColorProperty.Name, Color.R, Color.G, Color.B);
}
