Replacing words in text using dictionary

Vote count:

0

I am trying to create a program that replaces word from a string.

ColorPairs = {'red':'blue','blue':'red'}

def ColorSwap(text):
    for key in ColorPairs:
        text = text.replace(key, ColorPairs[key])
    print text

ColorSwap('The blue ball')
# 'The blue ball'

This program works when I put in 'The red ball' instead of 'The blue ball'. I am stuck trying to figure out a way to make it so that the program doesn't override the first replaced key. Please help.
