✅

from the docs (here)

you can use the select widget and specify choices. In your case

color = forms.CharField(max_length=20, widget=forms.Select(choices=COLORS))

However, since you’ve already defined color with choices you in fact do not need to do anything (other than set the meta of BrowseForm to Thing) to get this to work. It will default to the behavior you want.

You could use a Model form 

from django.forms import ModelForm

class BrowseForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Thing

It would then pull in your choices automatically.
