Create a New Layer and using the Rectangle
Selection Tool (R) create a rectangle that's as
wide as your document but only 10 pixels in
height. Fill that with #cccccc. Duplicate this
layer 3 timesTrying to do some gimp.
this part I don't understand below.

It is hexadecimal, it translates to 204 parts red, 204 parts green and 204 parts blue. The result is a light grey.

Every color has a sequence like that. It can be numbers and letters, or just letters.

CC is hexadecimal notation for 204. Each place has values 0 to 15 C is 12. The number is therefore 12 times 16 plus 16 or 204. The color notation is two hex digits for each color.
Probably I've just confused you more than helping you.

Look at Searcher's post above. That should help clear things up. Notice the ccccc? That is the code for the gray that is being displayed in "current color"

Hexidecimal numbers are base 16 (0 to 9 + A to F), rather than base 10 (0-9). One "byte" of data can contain any value from 0 - 255 (in hex - 0 - FF)

Thus counting in hex we say 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 10 11 and so on. Computers think in binary (base 2) which only contains the numbers 0 and 1. The hexadecimal system is a convenient way of expressing it.

The representation 0f #CCCCCC does not translate into the decimal number 204204204 but does translate into binary which tells the system how much of each primary color to display.
