Pass field data to javascript CSS

I have an Object and related Details View that has a short text field that contains a hex color code (#ff0000).  I am trying to pass that value in a Scene over to a CSS override to change the font colors on the page. When I hard code the color in javascript it works but when I create a variable to read the field value I am not getting anything. I have a multi-tenant app and I want the Organizations to choose their own color codes to match their logos. This code works:

$(document).on('knack-scene-render.scene_305', function(event, scene) {
var current_Color = "#ff0000";
$('h3').css('color', ''+current_Color+'','!important');
});

I need to change
var current_Color = "#ff0000";
to 
var current_Color = "FieldTextValue";

The FieldTextValue is a hex code like #ff0000 - short text field in the object

Tried a few things, this one seems to be populating the H3 but with empty data:
var current_Color = $('#view_2401.field_3133 .kn-value').text();

Thanks Dean - this helps me

Nevermind for anyone trying to do this I found the right code:

var current_Color = Knack.models['view_2401'].toJSON().field_3133;
