colors = [ yellow, green, gray ] # python will not understand, cause, it is of no datatype, string should within quotes 
colors + [ red, blue ] # why have you done it in 2 parts, 1 stretch, you could have added above, with 2 more colors
# still, if you want to break it, you have to use the operator like colors += ["red", "blue"]
