The documentation for ColorData reads:

Possible properties in ColorData["scheme","property"] include:

"ColorFunction"
"ColorList"
"ColorRules"
"Image"
"Name"
"Panel"
"ParameterCount"
"Range"
{"Range",i}

Are there any others?

Evaluating ColorData["Properties"] in 10.0.2 returns:

{"AlternateNames", "ColorFunction", "ColorList", "ColorRules",
 "Image", "Name", "Panel", "ParameterCount", "Range", "StandardName"}

This however is also incomplete. Some spelunking reveals that there are more. Here is a complete list from the function definition itself:

"StandardName"
"Name"
"AlternateNames"
"PrivateStandardNames"
"ColorFunction"
"ColorList"
{"ColorList", "Sorted"}
"ColorRules"
{"ColorRules", "Sorted"}
"Range"
{"Range", _Integer?Positive}
"ParameterCount"
"Image"
"Panel"
"ColorNames"
{"ColorNames", "Sorted"}
"BlendArgument"
"PrivateNote"

    I think it would be good to mention that a user can get most of these by evaluating ColorData["Properties"], which produces {"AlternateNames", "ColorFunction", "ColorList", "ColorRules", "Image", "Name", "Panel", "ParameterCount", "Range", "StandardName"}. In general, evaluating someData["Properties"] usually produces useful info aboutsomeData`. – m_goldberg Mar 06 '15 at 09:32
  • @m_goldberg That's a good point, but as that data is now known to be incomplete I was uncertain of the value of mentioning it. – Mr.Wizard Mar 06 '15 at 09:34

    Nice. {ColorData[#, "AlternateNames"] // First, ColorData[#, "Panel"]} & /@ ColorData["Indexed"] // Grid – Dr. belisarius Mar 06 '15 at 15:07
