How to change the name of list variable?

In the previous video it showed that you make a list as such: "My_list=[1,2,3,4]". Is there another way to type the Variable to make it say Colors?

lists.py 
list_colors=[red,green,purple,blue,pink]

Yes, you've got the right idea just make sure if you're storing a collection of string values to put each one in quotes.

thank you, i also realized that i don't need to add "List" to make it into a list, The brackets are what identify it as a list.
