[Python] Invalid value of type 'builtins.str' received for the 'color' property of...

I am using this set of imports

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from chart_studio import plotly
# import plotly.plotly as pl
import plotly.graph_objs as go
import plotly.offline as of
import cufflinks as cf
import datetime as dt
%matplotlib inline


of.init_notebook_mode(connected = True)
cf.go_offline()


And when i try to run this code

df.iplot(kind='scatter',xTitle='Projects',
yTitle='Donations',title='Projects vs Donations',
symbol='x',colorscale='paired',mode='markers')


**It throws error **

ValueError Traceback (most recent call last)

plt.show()
