Colors in Visual Studio Extension

Yes, binding to static VS resources is the best approach. It is supported in VS 2012+ and looks like this:

<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:vs_shell="clr-namespace:Microsoft.VisualStudio.PlatformUI;assembly=Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.11.0">
<Style TargetType="Label">
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static vs_shell:EnvironmentColors.ToolWindowTextBrushKey}}"/>
</Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBox">
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static vs_shell:EnvironmentColors.ToolWindowTextBrushKey}}"/>
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static vs_shell:EnvironmentColors.ToolWindowBackgroundBrushKey}}"/>
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>

See EnvironmentColors Class for all avilable colors.
