BUG: unnecessary warning in scatterplot #47697

Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns

sns.set_theme()
pd.DataFrame([[0, 1], [1, 0]]).plot.scatter(0, 1)
plt.show()

Issue Description

I get this warning:

*c* argument looks like a single numeric RGB or RGBA sequence, which should be avoided as value-mapping will have precedence in case its length matches with *x* & *y*. Please use the *color* keyword-argument or provide a 2D array with a single row if you intend to specify the same RGB or RGBA value for all points.

I thought seaborn is the one to blame, but all it does is set some colors in a standard way.

Apparently it's pandas who should use the color= kwarg instead of c.

Expected Behavior

I would expect no warning.
