Hey guys, that was my blog post and just saw it was linked to from here - I've been a lurker for ages, so figured I'd finally create an account and reply
Oddly enough, I think this might have been found due to the MoP Beta
I actually found it some time back, and posted in a paid-for-access D3-gold-making forum (wont link it, but I think some of you are members on it already) and thought I'd release it publicly before someone else did, taking credit for it
At the time I was looking in to whether the Demon Hunter's Ferret Companion rune was still going to make it in to the game, and noticed that the skill texts used the {c_green} (or whatever it was) to add emphasis to the % of something to happen, or damage that would be done. I did some searching and found a whole bunch of "{c_" strings in memory, being used in different places, and decided to just try it in chat, and it worked (I'm not lucky enough to have MoP beta access)
I can't remember exactly how I found the icons, I think it had to do with one of the tutorial tooltips that used color as well as the mouse icons, from there I just searched for "{icon:" and found the others. I'm most interested in that "Platinum" one though!

There are some "slash commands" for chat (all available from /? I believe) :
And some "emotes" - which are bound to your numpad by default:
