Hello luca, you are very close!

The variable name favorite_color should not be within quotation marks. If using quote marks, then it is interpreted as the literal string “favorite_color”.

After removing the extra quote marks, be sure spaces and capitalization correctly matches the target string.

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
