Put all colors in a ComboBox

[Guest]

I am building an application and would like to give the user the chance to
configure the look of the user interface.

I am adding a ComboBox to a DialogBox and want to populate it with the
available System background colors. The user can then set the background
color for the application. I will be doing the same with fonts, button
FlatStyles, etc.

I have tried a for each loop, but can't seem to get the syntax right.

Any help on any of these would be appreciated.
