"as follows" reads naturally to me, as a native speaker (also checked: 
online dictionaries mention the phrase "as follows" without saying it's 
specific to my area -- northeast U.S. -- so I think it's right to use)

"the following structures"?
"as follows" would also work well if "structures" isn't an important 
word to keep?
wait, it's like saying "array of 3 following structures", each of the 
same type. hmm. "@samp{framebuffer_palette_num_colors} structures as 
follows"?
