Bug summary
When plotting a scatter plot with y containing NaN values, depending on the number of values, an error comes up when setting the color or edgecolor.
This error was introduced with version 3.3.0, might be linked to #17849
Code for reproduction
Here is a basic example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
plt.scatter([1, 2, 3], [ 0, np.nan, 2],color=(1, 0, 0))

First analys
It is only affects the edgecolor option, facecolor works fine:
# This work fine
plt.scatter([1, 2, 3], [ 0, np.nan, 2])
plt.scatter([1, 2, 3], [ 0, np.nan, 2], facecolor=(1, 0, 0))
It also seem to be only happening when there are 3 values to plot, 1 or 2 of them being NaNs:
# These all work
plt.scatter([1, 2], [1, np.nan ],color=(1, 0, 0))
plt.scatter([1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 2, np.nan, 4 ],color=(1, 0, 0))
plt.scatter([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [1, 2, np.nan, 4, 5 ],color=(1, 0, 0))
plt.scatter([1, 2, 3], [np.nan , np.nan , np.nan ],color=(1, 0, 0))
plt.scatter(np.arange(1000), np.append(np.random.rand(999),np.NaN),color=(1, 0, 0))
# But those not
