Do you mean the actual CMYK values of each color? If so, something like this might work, but it would be incredibly redundant if you have ID naming colors by their CMYK values, lol...

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3" 
	tell active document 
		set colorList to "" 
		set myColors to name of every color 
		repeat with thisColor in myColors 
			set colorList to colorList & (thisColor & ": {C: " & item 1 of color value of color thisColor & ", M: " & item 2 of color value of color thisColor & ", Y: " & item 3 of color value of color thisColor & ", K: " & item 4 of color value of color thisColor & "}" & return) as string 
		end repeat

		display dialog colorList 
	end tell 
end tell
