Hi Abdelrahman,
thanks for reaching out! It seems that the functionality of using a single string as a color has been deprecated in some versions of matplotlib and is no longer supported, that's why you're getting the error. If you'd like to have individual colors for each bar, you can do the following:
1. Have a list of all the colors, using their full names
2. Pass that list for the color argument
Here is some example code:
colors = ["red","green","blue","white","yellow","magenta","cyan"]
plt.bar(x = df_used_cars["Brand"], #specify the x axis
height = df_used_cars["Cars Listings"], #specify the y axis
color = colors)
Let me know if this version works for you or if you have any further questions!
Best,

Thanks, It worked!
