Pete,
No you cannot do that easily, as the names are not stored anywhere (AFAIK).
A few colours have VB constant values, such as vbRed, vbBlue, and so on, but
these are very few. You could pick up the colorindex value and translate
that, but anyone can change a colour.
If you want to go the translation route, here is a starter for you
