Finder-like color label menu item in Cocoa?

Is it possible (or even better yet, has someone already written it) to implement a menu item like the Finder's color label selector?

I'd like to do something similar in both the main menubar and a contextual pop-menu.

I assumed that this would be fait accompli, but several hours of searching the Internet, list archives, and developer code examples only resulted in two other posts asking the same question (both went unanswered), no documentation on how one would accomplish this, and no code samples.

I did find an old Carbon project named MenuViews which purports to implement this (I can't tell, because the project won't build). But even if it did, I'm not optimistic that I could use it in a Cocoa application.
