     public String[] mColors = {

     //Method - Abilities (things the object can do)
     public int getColor() {

         String color = "";

         //Randomly select a fact
         Random randomGenerator = new Random(); //Construct a new random number generator
         int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(mColors.length);

         color = mColors[randomNumber];

Hello Zachary,

In your code, I see you have two opening brackets like this

public class ColorWheel {
{
...
}

Try removing the one of the opening brackets.

I hope this helps.

I'm not sure why only a bit of the code is shown properly by the way

The errors are: Modifier public not allowed here (the public array), red squiggly line after semi - colon after curly braces surrounding array and Cannot resolve mColors.

Check my code if you want to compare it with yours. 

public class ColorWheel {
    public String[] mColors = {
            "#39add1", // light blue
            "#3079ab", // dark blue
            "#c25975", // mauve
            "#e15258", // red
            "#f9845b", // orange
            "#838cc7", // lavender
            "#7d669e", // purple
            "#53bbb4", // aqua
            "#51b46d", // green
            "#e0ab18", // mustard
            "#637a91", // dark gray
            "#f092b0", // pink
            "#b7c0c7"  // light gray
            };

    // Method (abilities: things the object can do)
    public int getColor(){

        String color = "";
        // Randomly select a fact
        Random randomGenerator = new Random(); // Construct a new Random number     generator
        int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(mColors.length);

        color = mColors[randomNumber];
        int colorAsInt = Color.parseColor(color);

        return colorAsInt;
    }
}

Thanks I added an extra opening curly brace but I deleted it so everything is good now!
