The way I use (which I'm sure could be improved), is to get the color index with "iterate sele, print color", followed by "print cmd.get_color_index( idx )". This gives you the rgb tuple for the color on 0-1 scale.
I'd be curious to know if there's a way to avoid the iterate step, or get the color name (instead of index or rgb values), but haven't had the time to dig into it.
