preprocessor lists question

I want to have some way to automatically put the right number of close parentheses on a list (using boost/preprocessor.hpp).

For instance, given this list:

#define _THE_LIST \
  BOOST_PP_LIST_CONS(red,     \
  BOOST_PP_LIST_CONS(orange,  \
  BOOST_PP_LIST_CONS(yellow,  \
  BOOST_PP_LIST_CONS(green,  \
  BOOST_PP_LIST_CONS(blue,  \
  BOOST_PP_LIST_CONS(violet,  \
  BOOST_PP_LIST_CONS(gray,  \
  BOOST_PP_LIST_CONS(white,  \
  BOOST_PP_LIST_NIL ))))))))

is there a way to automatically generate the eight close parentheses?
