Multidimensional C Arrays

I have four arrays that contains some values. Another array should contain all these four arrays like shown in the code:

static const long ONE_COLOR[2] = { RGB_BLACK, RGB_WHITE };
static const long TWO_COLOR[4] = { RGB_WHITE, RGB_RED, RGB_GREEN, RGB_BLUE };
static const long THREE_COLOR[8] = { RGB_BLACK, RGB_RED, RGB_GREEN, RGB_BLUE,
    RGB_CYAN, RGB_YELLOW, RGB_MAGENTA, RGB_WHITE };
static const long FOUR_COLOR[16] = { RGB_WHITE, RGB_RED, RGB_GREEN, RGB_BLUE,
    RGB_CYAN, RGB_YELLOW, RGB_MAGENTA, RGB_DARK_RED, RGB_DARK_GREEN,
    RGB_DARK_BLUE, RGB_LIGHT_BLUE, RGB_LIGHT_GREEN, RGB_ORANGE, RGB_LIME,
    RGB_PINK, RGB_LILA };

//this array should contain all other arrays
static const long COLOR_ARRAY = {ONE_COLOR,TWO_COLOR, THREE_COLOR,
    FOUR_COLOR };

My problem is to access the values in the array. I thought I can receive the value of RGB_BLACK with COLOR_ARRAY[0][0]. I tried it with some pointer constructions, but it doesn't work neither :(
