My Code : favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color? ") print("The color ",favorite_color," is a great color!")
favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color? ")
print("The color ",favorite_color," is a great color!")

When you use the print statement with multiple arguments, it separates the values automatically with a space. The test is looking very specifically for:
The color red is my favorite color
While your code is outputting:
The color red is my favorite color
Note the extra spaces in the second one. Your strings before and after don't need the extra spaces.
Does that make sense?
(Those spaces will come in handy later when you use concatenation with a + sign.)
I'll add a test to make the error more clear.

in 2.7
print ("abc","xyz")
('abc', 'xyz')
print ("abc"+"xyz") abcxyz
