I corrected your snippet to make it work. You just need to access the style.borderColor of your HTML element.

What I changed :
• #borders is for id="borders", so i changed for .borders and added the CSS class borders to your

  element

• The 'solid' value is meant for border-style property
• Your 'promptUser' variable doesn't exists so I changed it with static text

Hope this helps !

 var getColor = prompt("Choose your color ", "Enter the  color ");
 var color;
 var el = document.getElementById("color");
 el.innerHTML = "Whatever paragraph message.";
 if (getColor =="Yellow" || getColor =="yellow" || getColor =="YELLOW"){
     color = "#FFFF66";
     el.style.borderColor = color;
 }

 
.borders{
    background-color:#00ffff;
    border-color:#000000;
    border-width:2px;
    border-style:solid;
}

 
<p id="color" class="borders"></p>
