Python cannot access list

Question

colors = ["red", "green", "blue", "yellow", "black"]
for color in range(0,len(colors)):
    print(color[index])

Wondering why I am getting an error when trying to print color index and not sure how to fix or what to change, thanks

Because color is an integer, and you access it as if its a list.
You should probably wanted to access the color from colors like the following:
colors = ["red", "green", "blue", "yellow", "black"]
for color in range(0,len(colors)):
    print(colors[color])

The better way is to iterate over the colors list like:
colors = ["red", "green", "blue", "yellow", "black"]
for color in colors:
    print(color)

Code run · Answer

colors = ["red", "green", "blue", "yellow", "black"]
for color in range(0,len(colors)):`
    print(color)       #This will print the index 
    
#refer below code if you want to print index with the value    
for color in range(0,len(colors)):
    print('Index value is '+str(color)+' and its value is '+str(colors[color]))

I think this is what you want to achieve

I think you were trying to write colors not color
You can Try this
colors = ["red", "green", "blue", "yellow", "black"]
map(print, colors)

It will do what you were trying to do
