Sometimes the challenge test program is brutally unforgiving...
favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color? ") # You are missing the space after the question mark
print("The color {} is a great color!".format(favorite_color))
Sometimes it helps to actually copy and paste the example text to get it right.
In this case, the space after the question mark is necessary or it won't look right to the user when he/she is prompted and types his/her answer.
When the code is running, without the space, he/she would see:
What is your favorite color?blue [user hits enter]
When what you want it this:
What is your favorite color? blue [user hits enter]
Does that make sense?
I hope that helps.
Stay safe and happy coding!

One limitation of the Treehouse challenges is that you can't always see how the code they have you write actually runs.
So I often go here:

To test it for myself; to see if it behaves as I imagine it should!?!
I hope that helps.
Stay safe and happy coding!
