We're designing a winforms app, and in order to match its appearance to the system theme we're trying to restrict ourselves to the colours in the SystemColors class. However, it's sometimes hard to choose appropriate colours without knowing what colour they correspond to in the different themes. I can see the palette for the current theme in Visual Studio, but is there somewhere I can see all the palettes at once? Ideally I'd like a table showing the colours for each of classic, XP (Blue, Olive, Silver, Royale) and Vista.

This table shows colors for the classic, standard, Luna, Royale, Zune and Vista Aero themes.

This is a great resource. What would also help for developers that would like to use these colors properly is a visual index of where these colors are expected to be used. Unfortunately I don't know of any such diagram that exists.
