Yes, you can definitely do that without any worries.
[ As mentioned by someone else, it's not even clear if copyright can
  apply to this anyway, but feel free to declare it as covered by CC0,
  just in case.
  More specifically, I suspect copyright can apply to the specific
  text/format/ordering you use in the above file, but not to the
  conceptual associations between the concept of main background color
  and the color "#ffffff", etc...
  AFAIU Copyright does not apply to ideas, only to their concrete
  expression.
  IOW You can also put such a table in the ELisp files and I think the
  law would allow people to use the underlying design regardless of the
  license we use for the file.  ]
