[JS] User Interface to Choose Layer Color (Get List of UIColors)

Question

I know how to set layer color with UIColors so I am not somewhat familiar with how it works. I want to create a dialog (which I know how to do) that has a menu that lets a user choose their layer color. So I want to get a list of all the UIColors and present that as a menu to the user. I cannot figure out how to get this list of colors. I know how to access them individually, but I'd think it would act similar to an array. I can't figure out the code to access the list to use it in a menu. Is this possible and if so how?
P.S. I am supporting InDesign CS2 and CS3.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Thanks for all the help everyone. We finally have the answer. Here's the following code that I'll be using. While Kasyan's works, I went ahead and made the menu a little nicer to read (like InDesign's actual menu is). My first array is for the dialog's menu, the second array contains the proper code I need later for setting the menu color. Again, thanks for all the input. Doing this in just CS3 was so much easier, but I also need to support CS2, so this works just fine (in both CS2 and CS3).
