    1. Don't put On Error Resume Next as the first thing. You need to see the error to correct them
    Only use it in specific places where you KNOW it's OK to ignore an error

    2. The shape's default name is "Hexagon<space>3", etc.
    Unless you renamed them, no shape would match

    3. If you just want to make all the hexagons blue, there's better, more robust ways to to it that doesn't require match names, etc.
    See the second version


    Option Explicit
    
    Sub addColorhexagon()
        Dim hshp As Shape
        Dim osld As Slide
        Dim j As Long
        Dim r As Long
        Dim g As Long
        Dim b As Long
        r = InputBox("Please enter Red number in: RGB(red,green,blue)", "Change Top Shape Color", "068")
        g = InputBox("Please enter Green number in: RGB(red,green,blue)", "Change Top Shape Color", "114")
        b = InputBox("Please enter Blue number in: RGB(red,green,blue)", "Change Top Shape Color", "196")
        Set osld = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
        ' testing
        osld.Shapes("Hexagon 3").Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(r, g, b) 
    '    On Error Resume Next
    '    For j = 1 To 10
    '        Set hshp = osld.Shapes("hexagon" & j)
    '        hshp.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(r, g, b)
    '        hshp.Fill.Solid
    '    Next j
    '    On Error GoTo 0
    End Sub
    
    Sub addColorhexagon_1()
        Dim oPres As Presentation
        Dim oShape As Shape
        Dim oSlide As Slide
        Dim j As Long
        Dim r As Long
        Dim g As Long
        Dim b As Long
        r = InputBox("Please enter Red number in: RGB(red,green,blue)", "Change Top Shape Color", "068")
        g = InputBox("Please enter Green number in: RGB(red,green,blue)", "Change Top Shape Color", "114")
        b = InputBox("Please enter Blue number in: RGB(red,green,blue)", "Change Top Shape Color", "196")
        Set oPres = ActivePresentation        
        For Each oSlide In oPres.Slides
            For Each oShape In oSlide.Shapes
                If oShape.Type = msoAutoShape Then
                    If oShape.AutoShapeType = msoShapeHexagon Then
                        oShape.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(r, g, b)
                    End If
                End If
            Next
        Next
    End Sub
