error: cannot find symbol getColor();

Not sure what to do. Why isn't getColor working?

Example.java 
public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
       GoKart redKart = new GoKart("Red");
      System.out.printf("The color of the new kart is %s\n", redKart);
                        getColor();
    }
}

Hey Paul!

Is this all of the code in the files that you are working with? If it is then you don't actually have a 'getColor()' method so you should go ahead and create it!
