Just wanted to let the community know that using a string of single characters for colors will be removed soon (Using color = "rgbwymc"):
MatplotlibDeprecationWarning: Using a string of single character colors as a color sequence is deprecated since 3.2 and will be removed two minor releases later. Use an explicit list instead.
plt.bar(x = df_used_cars["Brand"], height = df_used_cars["Cars Listings"], color = "rgbwymc")

Hi Samantha,
thanks for reaching out! It has been deprecated unfortunately in the newer versions of the library. Instead you can use the full names of colors in the list, like so:
# Define colors explicitly as a list
colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'white', 'yellow', 'magenta', 'cyan']
# Plotting
plt.bar(x=df_used_cars["Brand"], height=df_used_cars["Cars Listings"], color=colors)
plt.show()Best,
