Bummer:AssertionError: 'Mauve' not found in "The color,'favorite_color',is a great color!" Make sure you are printing..

print("The color, 'favorite_color', is a great color!") - Why doesn't this work?

using_input.py 
favorite_color = input("what is your favorite color")
print("The color,'favorite_color',is a great color!")

You need to change the parentheses so they all match and the commas should be on either side of favorite_color in that print statement.

favorite_color = input("what is your favorite color")
print("The color ", favorite_color, "is a great color!")
