Hey Dana!

You should print the actual value stored in the favourite_color variable! So instead:

print("The color " + favorite_color + " is my favorite color!")
# You can also insert a variable like this:
print("The color %s is my favorite color!", favorite_color)

Thank you so much behar. You are all very helpful!
