I'm using System.Drawing.Color, is there anything in Visual Studio that can display the color for the name?

For example if I used Color.Cornsilk what would color would be displayed?

That will get the RGB value, but the questioner wants to see the actual colour on screen in the IDE.

The Windows Forms properties window allows you to select Color related properties using a "Color Picker" that displays the actual color next to the name.

Just type in the color name within the property value area, press enter, and if the name is a known .NET color, it is shown.

You could test the color on any control through VS designer.
Set a Panel BackgroundColor for example.

Anyway named color samples can be found anywhere on the web.
Here is a good reference for working with colors (select Named Web Color in the drop down).
