(etc...)

You'll also find it in /usr/include/X.h:

   /* Display classes  used in opening the connection 
    * Note that the statically allocated ones are even numbered and the
    * dynamically changeable ones are odd numbered */

   #define StaticGray		0
   #define GrayScale		1
   #define StaticColor		2
   #define PseudoColor		3
   #define TrueColor		4
   #define DirectColor		5

Admittedly, this still isn't much help in exporting the number to the
"-cc" option of the server.
