The problem with that is that if the user puts in literally ANYTHING else, than 'blue', it will not be accurate. So what you need to do is use a string format to put the variable into the print statement
example:
variable_one = 'this is the insert'
print('this is my string, {}'.format(variable_one))
where the output will look like:
this is my string, this is the insert

variable_one = 'this is the insert'
print(f'this is my string, {variable_one}')
