The hex color value for the challenge in "Setting the Color of the Layout" has more than six characters.

What's the correct value? It should be for a dark pink

In Android colors can be represented by eight characters, where the first two characters are the alpha channel (FF would be used for a 'normal' color) and the last six characters are the standard hex color code you are thinking of.
