This is not a complete list of all the swarovski crystal colours available as there are too many variations to name. They also add new colours each year as well which is exciting! The AB refers to a Aurora Borealis coating which looks really great, some colours look better than other with this, you need to investigate. AB 2x means it covert the whole crystal AB means it covers half. You will generally pay a little more for AB colours.
