Task 5 of assignment not passing

Task 5 is 'Now using the $favorite_colors associative array, echo mike's favorite color'.

I've checked the preview and it is echoing green (twice as expected, and I've also tried commenting out the first statement), but the task is still failing to complete.

Is there something silly that I'm doing?

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$colors = [];
$colors[] = "red";
$colors[] = "green";
$colors[] = "blue";

echo $colors[1];

$favorite_colors = [
  "mike" => "green",
  "jane" => "blue",
  "chris" => "red"
];

echo $favorite_colors["mike"];


?>

Figured it out - $color array has the colors in the wrong order - should be red, blue, green! It should have failed me at task 2!
