with open('file1.txt','w+') as f:
	for i in color:
		f.write('%s\n'%i)

with open('file1.txt') as f:
	print(f.read())

list1=[]
with open('file1.txt','r+') as f:
	lines = f.readlines()
	for line in  lines:
		item = line[:-1]
		list1.append(item)
	print(list1)
#############

with open('file1.txt','r') as f:
	lines=f.read()
	listli=lines.split('\n')
	print(listli)
	# listli=lines.strip()
	# print(listli)

Example 2: how to save python list to file

import json
a = [1,2,3]
with open('test.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write(json.dumps(a))

#Now read the file back into a Python list object
with open('test.txt', 'r') as f:
    a = json.loads(f.read())
