What is the value of bgcolor that you're passing in? Per the docs: "If
given, this should be a single integer or floating point value for
single-band modes, and a tuple for multi-band modes (one value per
band)." So if you're changing from a multi-band mode to a single-band
mode, you would need to change the color argument as well.
