Error applying individual colors to ax.scatter points

[janomecopter]

Description

When applying a list of matplotlib-valid colors to an ax.scatter plot, the process fails with a TypeError - it appears to occur when calling numpy to mask values.

Steps to reproduce

A "Minimal, Complete and Verifiable Example" will make it much easier for maintainers to help you.

import proplot as pplt
f, ax = pplt.subplots()
ax.scatter(list(range(5)), [x*2 for x in range(5)], c=['r' for x in range(5)])

Expected behavior: Plot of five red points to appear.

Actual behavior: Process fails with traceback.

Equivalent steps in matplotlib

Please try to make sure this bug is related to a proplot-specific feature. If you're not sure, try to replicate it with the native matplotlib API. Matplotlib bugs belong on the matplotlib github page.

# your code here, if applicable
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
f, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.scatter(list(range(5)), [x*2 for x in range(5)], c=['r' for x in range(5)])
