PHP Arrays

Hi, I'm trying to echo out the 2nd value can someone let me know what i might be doing wrong?

$colors = array('red', 'blue', 'green'); echo $colors[2];

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integer_one = 1;
$integer_two = 2;
$golden = 1.618;
$bool = TRUE;
$colors = array('red', 'blue', 'green');
echo $colors[2];


?>

Now using the $colors array, echo the second value.

Array index starts counting from index of 0; therefore, second value should be at the index of 1, not 2.
