If you're looking to scatter by two variables and color by the third, Altair can be a great choice.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame(40*np.random.randn(10, 3), columns=['A', 'B','C'])
Altair plot
from altair import *
Chart(df).mark_circle().encode(x='A',y='B', color='C').configure_cell(width=200, height=150)
