HTML

<form id="TheForm">
    <input id="color" type="text" />
    <br/>
    <input id="submitColor" value="Submit" type="button" />
</form>
<span id="coltext">This text should have the same color as you put in the text box</span>

CSS

#TheForm {
    margin-left: 396px;
}
#submitColor {
    margin-left: 48px;
    margin-top: 5px;
}

JavaScript

function changeBackground() {
    var color = document.getElementById("color").value; // cached

    // The working function for changing background color.
    document.bgColor = color;

    // The code I'd like to use for changing the text simultaneously - however it does not work.
    document.getElementById("coltext").style.color = color;
}

document.getElementById("submitColor").addEventListener("click", changeBackground, false);
