921 PointsUsing Input
I've seen other solutions answered and it appears that I am doing everything correctly but I am really confused by the AssertionError and the Mauve color? Not sure where they are getting that?
Bummer: AssertionError: 'Mauve' not found in 'The color favorite_color,is a great color!' : Make sure you are printing out 'The color Mauve is a great color!' (Mauve is my favorite that I inputted)
favorite_color = input("what is your favorite color")
print("The color", "favorite_color," "is a great color!")

There shouldn't be any speech marks around
favorite_color
as it is a variable, but when you put speech marks around it, it gets treated as the literal string of 'favorite_color'There needs to be a space after color (before the closing speech mark)
