A String is a sequence of characters. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/data/strings.html

String is the class, you then need to define a variable. Your question mentions color. The code below shows a simple string declaration, defining the color of the variable.

String color = "red";

String is the class, color is the variable which has been made equal to red.

Hope this helps.
