🔒 Error using matplotlib

Code:

import psutil as p

bg_app_dict = {}

count = 0

for process in p.process_iter():
    count += 1
    
    if count <= 6:
        name = process.name()
        cpu_usage = p.cpu_percent()
        
        print("Name : ", name, "CPU Usage : ", cpu_usage)
        
        bg_app_dict.update({name : cpu_usage})
        
        keymax = max(bg_app_dict, key = bg_app_dict.get)
        print(keymax)
        
        keymin = min(bg_app_dict, key = bg_app_dict.get)
        
        bg_app_list = [keymax, keymin]
        print(bg_app_list)
        
        bg_app = bg_app_dict.values()
        
        max_bg_app = max(bg_app)
        print(max_bg_app)
        
        min_bg_app = min(bg_app)
        print(min_bg_app)
        
        max_min_bg_app_list = [max_bg_app, min_bg_app]
        print(max_min_bg_app_list)
        
plt.figure(figsize = (15, 7))

plt.bar(bg_app_list, max_min_bg_app_list, width = 0.5, color = ("Pink", "Blue"))

Hey @fading zenith!

It looks like you pasted Python code without syntax highlighting.

Please use syntax highlighting to improve the legibility of your code and make it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

[remote blade]

not recognizing pink try it another way

im just gonna edge you till you get it

[fading zenith]

no colour works

idk why

And ayo?

please help anyone?

[tropic viper]

does the bar function support colors as a tuple? or is it looking for a list? Also, just for simplicity, what happens if you try red instead

[fading zenith]

nope red too doesn't work. It keeps asking for a color value and its not accepting rgb values either

list doesn't work and the tuple is'nt working either

i'm using spyder to code with anaconda prompt

so matplotlib is already installed

thanks for the help tho...

[viscid vortex]

Your code works for me

No error

I am not using spyder
