I am experimenting with colored text on python and can't find out why this isn't working:

import time
color = []

print("\x1b[1;32;40m Bright Green\n")
print("\x1b[1;31;40m Red\n")
print("\x1b[1;33;40m Yellow\n")
print("\x1b[1;34;40m Blue\n")
print("\x1b[1;35;40m Purple\n")
print("\x1b[1;36;40m Cyan\n")
print("\x1b[1;37;40m White\n")
print("\x1b[1;30;40m Black\n")
print('\x1b[0;37;40m Please enter disired text color\n')
if input() == 'bright green':
        print("\x1b[0;32;40m Great! You chose green!")
        color = ["Bright Green"]
        time.sleep(2)
        if input('''You can see your current color by typing "color"
        ''') == 'color':
                print(color)
elif input() == 'red':
        print("\x1b[0;31;40m Great! You chose red!")
        color = ["Red"]
        time.sleep(2)
        if input('''You can see your current color by typing "color"
        ''') == 'color':
                print(color)
elif input() == 'yellow':
        print("\x1b[0;33;40m Great! You chose yellow!")
        color = ["Yellow"]
        time.sleep(2)
        if input('''You can see your current color by typing "color"
        ''') == 'color':
                print(color)
elif input() == 'blue':
        print("\x1b[0;34;40m Great! You chose blue!")
        color = ["Blue"]
        time.sleep(2)
        if input('''You can see your current color by typing "color"
        ''') == 'color':
                print(color)  
elif input() == 'purple':
        print("\x1b[0;35;40m Great! You chose purple!")
        color = ["Purple"]
        time.sleep(2)
        if input('''You can see your current color by typing "color"
        ''') == 'color':
                print(color)
elif input() == 'cyan':
        print("\x1b[0;36;40m Great! You chose cyan!")
        color = ["Cyan"]
        time.sleep(2)
        if input('''You can see your current color by typing "color"
        ''') == 'color':
                print(color)
elif input() == 'black':
        print("\x1b[0;30;40m Great! You chose black!")
        color = ["Black"]
        time.sleep(2)
        if input('''You can see your current color by typing "color"
        ''') == 'color':
                print(color)
elif input() == 'white':
        print("\x1b[0;37;40m Great! You chose white!\n")
        color = ["White"]
        time.sleep(2)
        if input('''You can see your current color by typing "color"
        ''') == 'color':
                print(color)
else:
        print("Type lowercase or restart program.")

friend, you have to put an input (input name = input ('type something') in this case a variable remembering that the variable cannot be called "input" because errors can occur

The following is an optimized version of your work which in-turn aims at more user-friendly experience.

I hope this would be helpful.

Happy Coding ;)

import time
colors = {
    'bright green': '\x1b[1;32;40m',
    'red' : '\x1b[1;31;40m',
    'yellow' : '\x1b[1;33;40m',
    'blue' : '\x1b[1;34;40m',
    'purple' : '\x1b[1;35;40m',
    'cyan' : '\x1b[1;36;40m',
    'white' : '\x1b[1;37;40m',
    'black' : '\x1b[1;30;40m'
}

for item in colors.keys():
    print(colors.get(item), item);

while(True):
    print(colors.get('white'), 'Please enter disired text color\n')
    
    user_input = input().lower()
    
    desiredColor = colors.get(user_input);
    
    if(desiredColor is None):
        print("Sorry! Desired color is unavailable\nPlease choose from the provided ones...\n")
        continue
    print(desiredColor, 'Great! You chose', user_input)
    
    time.sleep(2)
    print("Want to give another try? : ( Anything apart from 'NO' is considered to be 'YES' )")
    if(input().lower()=='no'):
        print("Thank you for your Time!")
        break
