I have been asked to create a new list by assigning 5 items to the variable colors. What I typed was: Colors= [red, blue, green, purple, orange]
What I get is an error: name 'red' is not defined

303 PointsLet's practice making a list. Make a new variable named colors. Assign it to a list of at least 5 items. They should be colors but I won't mark you off for that.
This is the challenge

Python Development Techdegree Graduate 24,728 PointsHi, I spotted two things wrong with your code. Your colors variable starts with a capital letter and your colors are also not strings:
colors = ['red', 'blue', 'green', 'purple', 'orange']
