On line 5-13 you forgot to give the function an opening curly brace.

//when clicking on control list items
$(".controls li").on("click", function() { // <-- forgot `{`
  //deselect sibling elements
  $(this).siblings().removeClass("selected");                    
  //select clicked element
  $(this).addClass("selected");
   //cache current color                    
   color =$(this).css("background-color");                     
});
