You only need an opening one at the start, and a closing one at the end) And if you want the colours to be matched up, add the following to the Manual settings box on Juggling Lab: colors = {blue} {blue} {blue} {blue} {blue} {green} {green} {green} {green} {green} {red} {red} {red} {red} {red} {red}$
