Loop inside loop in queryset in Django template

Question

I have queryset like this:

hello = Hello.objects.all()

In template I would do like this to get the data:

{% for h in hello %}
   {% for i in h.data %} #data is stored like this ['a', 'b', 'c'] -->  I want to access individual componenet, thus I would do:
      {{i}}
   {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

But instead of yielding data as:

a 
b
c

It yields as ['a', 'b', 'c']

What's wrong? I have a reason to store data in list. How to access each data seperately. Thanks

Purpose: Colors are stored in data field as: [black, green, brown] Thus I want to achieve:

div style="color: black"
div style="color: green"
div style="color: brown"

Edit models.py class Hello(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User) data = models.CharField(max_length=255)

def __str__(self):
    return "%s's decoration photos" % self.user

Could you provide models.py source code?

Assuming Hello is a model with data stored as a CharField, then Django is correct in assuming that you have a string rather than a list.

Try using a model called Color which has a ForeignKey to Hello. This would be the right way to have a one-to-many relationship between Hello and its Color objects.

The best way to deal with this would be to write your own django template filter to iterate over the filter.

Very similar to what is given at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/

And getting start is here. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-template-tags/

An overkill for such a particular case
