Hi, the problem is that instead of doing this: colors = ["green,blue,red,grey,orange,pink,black"] you should do this: colors = ["green","blue","red","grey","orange","pink","black"] the difference is in the first one you are creating a list with just one element called "green,blue,red,grey,orange,pink,black" instead of 7 elements
