I'm stuck with this question can anyone please post the answer and explain it.

Add a public constructor to the GoKart.java class that allows the parameter color to be passed in. In the constructor store the argument color in the private color field.

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
  private String mColor = "red";

  public mColor(String color){
        mColor =  Color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }
}

I think it's just a simple capitalization syntax error. You're assigning mColor to Color which technically doesn't exist. Use the lowercased 'color' to reference the parameter being passed through.

public mColor(String color){
        mColor = color;
  }
