Do you need to be doing this programatically? You could always take a screenshot of your phone [either using DDMS on a non-rooted device or the PicMe app on a rooted device] and then grab the colors using Photoshop or any image editing software. Another option, again not programmatic, would be to download the Android source [or you can browse it online in the Git repo] and find the declarations for those colors.
