Your calling function N() before you have written it. Move it up top

LucasUK is right. However, another issue that I see is that you never ended your 'if/elseif' tree with an 'end' statement.

Try this:


print ("what color")
x = io.read()
function n()
os.shutdown()
end

if x == "white" then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.white)
n()
elseif x == "black" then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.black)
n()
elseif x == "red" then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.red)
n()
elseif x == "orange" then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.orange)
n()
elseif x == "blue" then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.blue)
n()
elseif x == "magenta" then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.magenta)
n()
elseif x == "cyan" then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.cyan)
n()
elseif x == "yellow" then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.yellow)
n()
elseif x == "green" then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.green)
n()
elseif x == "light blue" then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.lightblue)
n()
elseif x == "lime" then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.lime)
n()
elseif x == "pink" then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.pink)
n()
elseif x == "gray" then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.gray)
n()
elseif x == "purple" then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.purple)
n()
elseif x == "brown" then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.brown)
n()
end

Idea: how about compact it a ton by doing 

rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors[ix])
on a line and delete the if/else trash.
Hmm, lemme read the code thoroughly and find that syntax error. Or have LuaEdit do it for me :)/>/>.

end
lol, was wondering why my spoilers didn't work, turned out to be a typo: "spoler".
My screen is a projector with rather bad readability, so that happens a lot.
