Unit colors are unimportant. Want more detail? Note what the scoreboard looks like after the game. Most should be yellow stars.

To have a "true" list you would have to master the GRP (or was it the units.dat) files. Each unit has "color section varibles" in it. You would have to map it out for each unit and use a paint program to illustrate it. You would also have to screen shot every StarCraft unit, and figure the mystery of the flag portraits (I discovered a few strange things about those flags but didn't include them in the list).

Oh, I almost forgot, you would have to list the colors for players over thirteen. Which would be hard because thier colors change when a GRP is loaded or in events like a player leaving a game. And, you'd probably have to do that for all eight tilesets as well.
