Correct answer greless

function GetStrokeRGB()
{
var r = new ActionReference();
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("AGMStrokeStyleInfo"));
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));
var objAGMStrokeStyleInfo=executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("AGMStrokeStyleInfo"));

if(!objAGMStrokeStyleInfo.getBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("strokeEnabled")))
return;

var objsolidColorLayer =objAGMStrokeStyleInfo.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleContent"));
var objRGBColor =objsolidColorLayer.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("color")) ;
alert("Stroke\nred:"+objRGBColor.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("red"))+"\ngrain:"+objRGBColor.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("grain"))+"\nblue:"+objRGBColor.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("blue")));
}

function GetFillRGB()
{
var r = new ActionReference();
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("AGMStrokeStyleInfo"));
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));
var objAGMStrokeStyleInfo=executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("AGMStrokeStyleInfo"));

if(!objAGMStrokeStyleInfo.getBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("fillEnabled")))
return;

var r = new ActionReference();
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("adjustment"));
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));

var objAdjustment=executeActionGet(r).getList(stringIDToTypeID("adjustment"));

var objsolidColorLayer =objAdjustment.getObjectValue(0);

var objRGBColor =objsolidColorLayer.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("color")) ;
alert("Fill\nred:"+objRGBColor.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("red"))+"\ngrain:"+objRGBColor.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("grain"))+"\nblue:"+objRGBColor.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("blue")));
}

GetFillRGB();
GetStrokeRGB();

To add to 龚亮g64532194 solution, you can get the hex value by adding this code instead of the alert for the RBG fill value:

 

 

var shapeColor = new SolidColor()
shapeColor.rgb.red = objRGBColor.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("red"));
shapeColor.rgb.green = objRGBColor.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("grain"));
shapeColor.rgb.blue = objRGBColor.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("blue"));
alert('shape fill color = ' + shapeColor.rgb.hexValue);

    I think you will have to make the solid color layer visible, add a color sampler, and get its color. This samples the pixel at 100x, 100y

     

     

     

    var sc=app.activeDocument.colorSamplers.add([100,100]);
alert("Color HEX: #"+sc.color.rgb.hexValue);
sc.remove()

      You can test if the Active Layer is a solid fill using LayerKind

      However Shapes layers  can have a Gradient fill, Pattern fill, Solid Color fill, and no color fill.  With Action manager code you may be able to find out if the Active layer has any of these fills.  I do not see a LayerKind SHAPE.  R-bin may be able to help you with the Action Manager code need the get the information about the Active Layer.
