change the region under System Preferences > International > Formats. I believe that most of the region settings will cause Pages to default to ISO paper sizes (such as A4). The only ones I know of which result in US Letter are United States, United States (Computer), and Canada.
If all you care about is the paper size for new blank documents, you can always save a custom template with your preferred page setup, use that, and not touch your system settings.
Note the 'DOCUMENT' icon at the far right of the very top of the document. Click on the Document Icon ... You will see a formatting screen similar to the 'older' inspector. The margin details are below "Document Body"
You need to select text in the body and then change the Document left margin from 2.69 inches to 1 inch.
Also, you might need to remove the left items. Depending on how thorough you want to be, update the body style to match the new definition, but at that point once the left margin is something more sane like 1" - you can fix your indents if desired by dragging the tab stops in the ruler.

First, be sure to change the fill type to Colour fill if the default template has Advanced Image Fill selected.
Then, as noted by @grgarside, select the colour wheel icon. See the screenshot showing its location.
From here you can select the sliders. If you know the custom colour code, either HEX or RGB, then it can be entered into the color picker. Otherwise, use the Eye dropper color picker to sample your color from another part of your screen. For example, if you have your custom color in website, or other document, select it with the eye dropper and then it will paste into your object.
