Ok, the earlier challenges, I got through them with no problems, now, I watch the videos and I'm not passing the videos. I read through the teachers notes and still no clues as to what I'm missing. So, the task is to make a list of five colors with a list name of colors. The error that comes back is that blue is not defined and so on (as you remove colors). So, I tried putting str in front of the brackets, nope didn't do the trick. The I tried placing quotations at the beginning and end of the colors list, within the brackets; this was a no go as well. In the video he strictly deals with integers in his lists. So, since now they are asking us to create a list with five colors are we supposed to type it differently?
Colors=[blue, black, red, orange, yellow]

Also, the instructions said to make a variable named "colors" (with a lower-case "c"), but you wrote "Colors" (with a capital "C"). Since Python is case-sensitive, these identifiers reference two different things.
