You created Turtle_1 as a Turtle object, which is correct. Then, however, with the line Turtle_1 = input('Please...'), you set Turtle_1 to a string, as input() returns a string. When you then attempted to call the color() method, this did not work, as strings have no such method. In addition, Turtles also have the set_color() method for setting the color, and color is an attribute and cannot be called.

This is an attempt to call a string. The error that results is TypeError: 'str' object is not callable.

Turtle_1.color(T1_color)

color is a string property of Turtle. To set the color, use:

Turtle_1.set_color(T1_color)

Which is the same as:

Turtle_1.color = T1_color
Turtle_1.redraw()
