You need to remove the space between your parameter name color and the : you are using. It uses that to know that you are declaring a Type for that parameter.

Also, as you will find in the next task for your challenge, the compiler reads source top down. So you should move your protocol to the top of your source so that when you try to use it in your type declaration later it will already know what the protocol is. :)
