Hi, Owen Harrington! You're doing great. This comes down to a tiny spelling discrepancy. Your variable is named favorite_color, but you are trying to print out favorite_colour, which isn't defined. Note the difference in "color" and "colour". The challenge is expecting the American spelling.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
