As far as I know your spelling of colour is not how the game would like it… Try

colors.black with no caps…

You can use both. Are you sure that's the exact code and error? And what is the name of your program?

colour = colours.lightGrey
colour = colours.grey

I found the fix, turns out all i needed to do was, change "Colours" to colors.

For the non-American English version just replace 'colors' with 'colours' and it will use the other API, colours—which is exactly the same, except in non-American English (e.g. gray is spelt grey and lightGray is spelt lightGrey).
