'the color' not found in 'peagreen is my favorite color!' : Make sure you print out 'The color peagreen is my favorite!'

It keeps giving me this error but I can't see the problem. I ran the code in workspaces and it worked just fine. Does anyone know what the issue is?

using_variables.py 
favorite_color = "peagreen"
print(favorite_color, "is my favorite color!")

The thing is, code challenges are extremely picky. The printed result must be exactly what the code challenge wants. Unfortunately, that's simply the way computers work. I personally would agree that your code looks legit, even though you didn't exactly print out what the challenge wanted you to print, but apparently computers don't think this way ;-;

Try this:

print("The color", favorite_color, "is my favorite!")
