It's good to cultivate ongoing familiarity with the standard library
<URL:https://docs.python.org/3/library/itertools.html#itertools.cycle>
so that you can make use of wheels already invented and maintained::

    import itertools

    colours = ["Red", "Blue"]
    colour_cycle = itertools.cycle(colours)

    next(colour_cycle)    # → "Red"
    next(colour_cycle)    # → "Blue"
    next(colour_cycle)    # → "Red"
    next(colour_cycle)    # → "Blue"
    next(colour_cycle)    # → "Red"

    for colour in colour_cycle:
        # … loops indefinitely
        # with ‘colour’ bound to each value in turn …
