If you re-watch the video, the teacher mentions that you can shorten the hex values of your colors. All three of the rgb channels need to be the same to do this. The quiz has the same repeating values for all three rgb channels: cc7733. So to shorten this value and save us typing this in full, we can use c73. Which is the answer.
