If you are using a model in this view. You can simply write

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.selectedColor, new { @class = "Color" })

Where selectedColor is a property in the model

In the controller, you well get that model's property

Example Controller Code

 public ActionResult SaveColor(SelColor model){

 string myColor =  SelColor.selectedColor; 
 ...
 ..
 }

In the above code, SelColor is model's name SaveColor is controller's Action

In the view, use Html.BeginForm() to call the desired controller's action.
