That depends on your colour model.
The 24bit "true color" model assigns 8bits to each of red, green, and blue. That's 256 levels for each of the three primary colours or 256^3 (16.7 million) colours - there is no list!
In the 16bit colour model, 5bits are assigned to two of the primary colours, and 6 to the other (I cannot remember which one). This gives 64K colours, again thetre is no list.
In the 8bit colour model, the colours are indexed, so that each of the 256 possible valuse map to a 24bit colour from the 16.7million colour pallette.
In the end, all of the above is irrelavent because the OS deals with colour management, you simply mix a 24bit colour, and the OS gives you the best fit depending on the hardware and colour model. If you are unfortunate enough to have 8bit hardware, and you use a lot of colours, this can cause Windows to spontaneously re-map the pallette when you switch between windows to give the optimal pallette for the current Window. This has weird effects. I believe that there is a set of 'standard' colours that are guaranteed to be present in an 8bit colour map.
Check out pantone.com, they publish books with lots of color examples.

Green has 6 bits in 16 bit mode Clifford, on most hardware, some hardware just uses five for all three and junks the last bit.
As for types of colors, there are hundreds, but really just three popular types.
RGB - CMYK - HSB/HLS
Zero Valintine

Thanks Zero, I was just too lazy to check it out, and in the end as I said it did not matter. With respect to the three methods of specifying colours -for the benefit of others:
RGB - Easy to understand, directly related to intensity of phosphor dots on a CRT.
CMYK - Printer colour model - generally, let the OS/printer driver work it out for you!
HSB/HLS -Useful model for digital photography, direct relationship with RGB.
I’ve been going through my old travel pictures lately and wanted to find something creative to do with them instead of just posting them online. While looking for creative things to do with photographs, I discovered a few interesting ideas on the Skylum blog. The site is mainly focused on photography and image editing tools, but they also publish creative project ideas. Some suggestions included turning photos into wall art or combining them into digital collages. It definitely inspired me to revisit some of my older images.

Any paint program ?
Google ?
Wait for a rainbow ?

At the code level you typically deal with RGB. In addition to the earlier link this deals with RGB and HSL colour models http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/userinput/commondialogboxlibrary/colordialogbox.asp
