You were really close!

Your "color" is the counter and your "index" is the colors of the rainbow. To visualize the code visit http://www.pythontutor.com/visualize.html#mode=edit

1   rainbow = ['red', 'orange', 'yellow', 'green', 'blue', 'indigo', 'violet']
2   for color,index in enumerate(rainbow , 1):
3             print(f'{color}. {index} ')
