A new variable is made by assigning something to a newly name object:
colors = something
2 Assign it to a list of at least 5 items.
A list is denoted by square brackets []. Items inside are separated by commas
colors = []
3 They should be colors but I won't mark you off for that.
The names of colors are strings. String need to be enclosed in matching quotation marks.
colors = ['red', "blue", "green", "puce", 'ecru']
