In your animation node tree, you need to add an "Object Attribute Output" set to "color" :

Then access it in your shader :

These two objects share the same shader, but I am modifying the left one's color in my animation nodes tree :

In order to change each individual object's color, use this setup :

Don't forget to tweak the "Evaluate Fallof" node to output a list instead of just one value. You need to click on the button on the right of the "location" field in this node. Notice how it is blue tinted. Result :

As of V 2.1.7, thanks to 3DSinghVFX there is a node specifically for this : The object color output.
