You get a list of defined color names in 'xwi' with:

    attributes.colors.setlist("xwi")

Anyway, "whatever action I want" is somewhat vague, for instance you the 
vebose spec with:

   attributes.colors.values[name]

but there's more. There might be better ways to achieve what you need it 
for.

Here is a nostalgic mkii accessor for such a list (color support is a 
real old feature and conceptually hasn't changed that much):

   \def\WhateverActionIWant#1{#1\par}

   \settrue\collectcolorsinlist \setupcolor[xwi]

   \processcommacommand[\colorlist]\WhateverActionIWant

but you probably don't want to catch up on that.
