Hi Carlos,

The question requires that your output string be of the form "The color [USER INPUTTED COLOR] is a great color!"

Your code produces the following: "The color [USER INPUTTED COLOR] a great color!"

Note that there are two spaces between the end of the color name and the word "a". Note also that you are missing the word "is".

Cheers

Alex
