Description
Bug report
The user guide (http://matplotlib.org/users/colors.html) specifies different ways to specify the color parameter. However, eventplot throws an exception when using a color different than the one in {'b', 'g', 'r', 'c', 'm', 'y', 'k', 'w'}, such as color='C0' or color='0.5'.
Code for reproduction
plt.eventplot([1,2], color='C0')Actual outcome
