It looks like you reproduced the design well. Both the HTMl & CSS is clean, well-formatted, and well organized.

Next up run it through the W3C validator, you should find some areas that can use some improvement.

Also please tell me that is it possible to change the color of the logo from pink to white

No, as with most images the color of the image isn't changable with CSS.

I validated it and found some problems, fixed them. However, when I wrote 300px in html doc for the logo image width attribute, the w3c validator told me that px is a problem. They expected only digit. Is this a valid error. Should we use only digits in case we are adding height and width in html document?

Yes, the width and height attributes assume pixels as a unit.

In the second part the validator found a mistake that I should add border to the table through CSS instead of in html. I know that styling should be done through CSS but is adding border in html a mistake in the technical sense?

In coding there is always more than one way to do it, however not all solutions are created equal. Coding is different than math in the sense there's more than one right answer but also in the sense that an answer can be various degrees of "good".

Just because code is technically valid, doesn't make it good maintainable code, that's what the validator is letting your know, which is why it's a warning and not an error.
