SyntaxError keeps displaying despite me double checking my code.

I don't know why I keep getting a SyntaxError despite double checking my code.

using_input.py 
favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color? ")
print("The color" favorite_color "is a great color!")

You simply forgot the commas separating the strings in the print statement from the variable. Check the previous video.

Hope this helps.
