Yeah, it's really strange that you can't get the list from this key, but you can from others. In the meantime, you can use this VBScript to get the list of those keys:

-----
Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
 
strComputer = "."
 
Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _ 
    strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
 
strKeyPath = "Control Panel\Colors"
 
oReg.EnumValues HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKeyPath, _
    arrValueNames, arrValueTypes
 
For i=0 To UBound(arrValueNames)
    Wscript.Echo arrValueNames(i) 
Next
