You can also do this with grep:

GNU grep

grep -oP '(?<=:)w+'

Portable grep

grep -o ':[a-z]+' | tr -d :

Output in both cases

white

green

Note about output

If you want the output as a comma-separated list, pipe to paste, e.g.:

grep -o ':[a-z]+' | tr -d : | paste -sd, -

Output:

white,green
