Please refer to the DisplayMaterial(KFbxGeometry* pGeometry) in ImportScene example.
Basically, you can get the material from the node like this:

                      for(int lIndex=0; lIndex < lNode->GetMaterialCount() lIndex++)

                      {

                          KFbxSurfaceMaterial *lMaterial = lNode->GetMaterial(lIndex)

                          //Then for each lMaterial, you can get the property from it according to its type.

                          if(lMaterial->GetClassId().Is(KFbxSurfaceLambert::ClassId) )

                          {

                              ((KFbxSurfaceLambert *)lMaterial)->GetAmbientColor()

                              ((KFbxSurfaceLambert *)lMaterial)->GetDiffuseColor()

                              ...

                          }

                          else if(lMaterial->GetClassId().Is(KFbxSurfacePhong::ClassId))

                          {

                              ((KFbxSurfacePhong *) lMaterial)->GetAmbientColor()

                              ((KFbxSurfacePhong *) lMaterial)->GetDiffuseColor()

                              ...

                          }

                      }
