There are no other occurrences of the various values (e.g. `static-color') in the Elisp manual or other doc strings (that I can find) than what is said about `display-visual-class'. To use a function, it helps to know its possible values, but if you have no idea what those values indicate or mean, then you really don't know much about the function. Grepping the Emacs sources doesn't really help here either. Looking at the definition of `display-visual-class', you can at least learn something (partial) about `static-color' and `static-gray', but that's about it.
