I believe this is done in the code for `list-colors-display'. That could be one
place to start. I do the same thing in some of my code, for example this:

(defun icicle-make-color-candidate (color-name &optional hex-rgb)
  (let ((rgb-string (or hex-rgb (hexrgb-color-name-to-hex color-name))))
    (put-text-property 0 (length rgb-string) 'face
                       (cons 'background-color rgb-string)
                       rgb-string)
    (list (list color-name rgb-string))))

That is in icicles-cmd.el:

It uses code in hexrgb.el:

See also command `palette' of palette.el, for similar code:
