I believe you need to have a pound symbol in front of the color, so try #2c76af

Shouldn’t it be added automatically? After I click to select a color, the preceding # is not added automatically.

Yes, I was suggesting this as a temporary workaround. It’s weird and inconsistent behavior that might be better suited for Contribute > UX but for now you can use that to create the banner.
