How to iterate this loop with enumerate?

I thought I did everything right, but I keep on getting an error message when I try to run the code. What am I doing wrong to run this for loop with the enumerate function?

iterating_lists.py 
rainbow = ['red', 'orange', 'yellow', 'green', 'blue', 'indigo', 'violet']

for index, color in enumerate(rainbow, 1):
    print(f' {index}. {color}')

You got a bit too fancy by specifying an offset for the index. The challenge is expecting to see the the normal index values (starting with 0). You can just leave off that 2nd argument.
