To simply get the value

document.getElementById("favcolor").value;

You can add an event listener if you want to get the color when the selection changes. You’d do something like this:

var theInput = document.getElementById("favcolor");

theInput.addEventListener("input", function(){
  var theColor = theInput.value;
  
  // Do something with `theColor` here.
}, false);

<input id="favcolor" type="color"/>

Here’s a working JSFiddle.
