Well... the first problem is that there is no single CMYK. Each different
set of printer, paper, etc. can be very different.
You'd need a specific CMYK profile to target and then you can work in that
directly in Inkscape, with it storing all four values, etc.
Even being in the US or being in Europe will significantly change the gamut
of 'common CMYK'.
Nevertheless you can create such palette using CMYK profile for your
expected printing device.
I think you can try using Swatchbooker application for such purposes:
