Chapter 5, page 72 (paperback)

[ON227]

When I try using this code from the book:

colors = ["purple", "orange", "green"]
guess = input("Guess a color:")
if guess in colors:
print("You guessed correctly!")
else:
print("Wrong! Try again.")

I then run the code and try guessing white to see my message for when it is wrong (although this is also happening when I guess a color that is in the list) I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 2, in
File "", line 1, in
NameError: name 'white' is not defined

Am I doing something wrong? I typed it in just as it is written in the book.
