Hi you can try the following:

$product = Mage::getModel("Catalog/Product")->load($_item->getProduct()->getId()); 
//echo sprintf("<pre>%s</pre>",print_r($product->getData(),true));
echo $product->getColor(); //shows the key 3
echo $product->getData('color'); //shows the key 3
echo $product->getAttributeText('color'); //shows the text blue

Make the attributes available in frontend:

On manage attribute page:

  • Allow HTML Tags on Frontend
  • Visible on Product View Page on Front-end

Remove the comment on the sprintf to see thats in there. When you have a _ in the key you should use CamelCase notation so the_color will become getTheColor().

Hope it helps !
