To see the "group" I use:

map <F10> :echo "hi<" 
synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."),col("."),1)),"name") . ">"<CR>

To see the colors associated with a group use:

:highlight "groupname"


I also have a color chooser
https://github.com/megaannum/forms/blob/master/images/examples_colorchooser.png

which is part of the Forms library:
https://github.com/megaannum/forms
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4150

and a color schemer viewer (built on top of Forms)
https://github.com/megaannum/colorschemer
