Hey Mathew! The challenge wants you to concatenate the favorite color variable with the string. Not just any color, but the actual color stored in the variable, you can do this with the "+" operator like so:

favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color?")
print("The color " + favorite_color + " is a great color!")

Hope this helps!

And at this point in the course you can use the multiple arguments passed to the print function.
