This is correct. So why is it not working?
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];
echo $colors[1];
$favorite_colors = ["mike" => "green",
"jane" => "blue",
"chris" => "red"];
echo $favorite_colors["mike"];
?>

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing great and there are no syntax errors. To be honest, I'm not sure exactly how this code passed the first few steps, but what's happening here is that your original $colors array contains the colors in the incorrect order which is making the final output greengreen
instead of bluegreen
which is clearly what they're checking for.
So this line:
$colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];
Should look like this:
$colors = ["red", "blue", "green"];
Note the reversal of blue and green between the two arrays. When I make that change, your code passes! Good luck!
