Use the favorite_color variable in your print function to output the following message to the screen :

The color [USER

using_input.py 
favorite_color = input("what is your favorite color")
print("The color purple" , favorite_color)

favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color? ")

print(f"The color {favorite_color} is a great color!")

or for the print() try this instead:

print("The color", favorite_color, "is a great color!")

You are nearly there, you just needed to wrap the string around the variable. Also make sure you type your input request out the same way they ask you to ("?" and a space at the end)
