if the color picker field is within a flexible content field (a sub field of the flex field) then you’ll need to loop through the layouts of the flex field to get the value of the field https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/flexible-content/

if (have_rows('flexible_content_field_name', 'options')) {
  while(have_rows('flexible_content_field_name', 'options')) {
    the_row();
    $color = get_sub_field('item_color');
    // loop continues
  }
}

The main problem here is… if you have multiple layouts, which layout does the color come from? See the documentation I linked to, more than likely you’re looking for a specific layout?
