Syntax for color name

What is the syntax for the name to be used in git config --get-color name?

I tried the following to find out the built-in default color for [status] added but all returned nothing:

git config --get-color status.added
git config --get-color color.status.added
git config --get-color color.added

The syntax is: (see git config color.status.<slot>)

git config --get-color color.status.added

But if it returns nothing, that simply means it uses the default color for that slot.

See "Colors in Git".

The default colors are defined in wt-status.c:

static char default_wt_status_colors[][COLOR_MAXLEN] = {
    GIT_COLOR_NORMAL, /* WT_STATUS_HEADER */
    GIT_COLOR_GREEN,  /* WT_STATUS_UPDATED */
    GIT_COLOR_RED,    /* WT_STATUS_CHANGED */
    GIT_COLOR_RED,    /* WT_STATUS_UNTRACKED */
    GIT_COLOR_RED,    /* WT_STATUS_NOBRANCH */
    GIT_COLOR_RED,    /* WT_STATUS_UNMERGED */
    GIT_COLOR_GREEN,  /* WT_STATUS_LOCAL_BRANCH */
    GIT_COLOR_RED,    /* WT_STATUS_REMOTE_BRANCH */
    GIT_COLOR_NIL,    /* WT_STATUS_ONBRANCH */
};
