Your first line is correct. This allows the user to input any color. The second line needs to take this input and put into the sentence, 

"The color {} is a great color!"

This can be achieved by using the .format() statement. Example: 

"My favorite color is {}.".format("Green")

The strings can be replaced by variables.
