obviousl I missed your intention.
My fault.
1. Document pages
2. Master pages
3. Master spreads
page.colorLabel = [ red value from 0-255 , green value from 0-255 , blue value from 0-255 ];
With CC 2017 there are 37 UI Colors defined, only 15 of 37 are available in the UI for labeling pages.
Having hundreth of different color labels could be confusing because the visible distance from color to color should be big enough to discern a color from the next one as presented in the Pages panel. This can be problematic or impossible for a huge range of masters.
What can be done by scripting with not too much effort is to read out the names of the masters that are applied to the pages of a document and write the names to a table of an added document. From there you could copy the result in tabular form to an Excel sheet and do sorting by master names, by page names or absolute page numbering. A text file of the result in tabular form is also possible.

/*
1. Reads out the name of applied masters of every page in the active document.
2. The results will be stored and added to a table in a new document.
The table consists of 3 columns.
3. The script will add pages if necessary to show the whole table.
Note:
The tabular results can be easily copied over to an Excel file
where you can do some sorting.
After: Absolute page numbers in the document (default)
After: Names of applied masters in alphabetical order
After: Page names
