Try out the following code

In the filename.aspx.cs file...

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        System.Drawing.Color c1 = new System.Drawing.Color();
        Type t = c1.GetType();
        int row;
        foreach (System.Reflection.PropertyInfo p1 in t.GetProperties())
        {
            ColorConverter d = new ColorConverter();
            try
            {

                DropDownList2.Items.Add(p1.Name);
                for (row = 0; row < DropDownList2.Items.Count - 1; row++)
                {
                    DropDownList2.Items[row].Attributes.Add("style",
                          "background-color:" + DropDownList2.Items[row].Value);
                }
            }
            catch
            {
                // Catch exceptions here if needed
            }
        }
     }
}
