Hi Terrell - You're calling remove() on color, but there's no variable called color. Try calling it on the states variable. Now, to remove the list of colors within the states list you need to pass it to remove(), just like when you want to remove 5 you do:

states.remove(5)

Now, do something similar except instead of 5 pass the list of colors to remove().
