My Solution Adapted to Latest Content and Practices

let html = '';
let rgbColor;

const randomRGB = () => Math.floor(Math.random() * 256 );

const randomColor = () => `rgb(${randomRGB()}, ${randomRGB()}, ${randomRGB()})`;

const print = message => document.querySelector('#color').innerHTML = message;

for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  rgbColor = randomColor();
  html += `<div style="background-color:${rgbColor}"></div>`;
}

print(html);

Interesting to see other people's solutions. I ended up going down a similar route. Need to try to get used to arrow functions, as it seems to save some space.

function randomRGB() {
  return `${Math.floor(Math.random() * 256 )}`;
}

function rgbColor() {
  return `rgb(${randomRGB()}, ${randomRGB()}, ${randomRGB()})`
}

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i += 1) {
  document.write(`<div style="background-color: ${rgbColor()}"></div>`);
}

Being a bit bored with the lockdown, I thought I'd try to see if I could shorten your code further. Came up with the below, although now watching the solution video I see I probably shouldn't have the document.write inside the loop. Anyways, was still fun.

const randomRGB = () => Math.floor(Math.random() * 256 );

const randomColor = () => `rgb(${randomRGB()}, ${randomRGB()}, ${randomRGB()})`;

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
   document.write(`<div style="background-color:${randomColor()}"></div>`);
}
