Invalid Color Argument in PyGame

I'm trying to fill the window with this background and I'm getting an 'invalid color argument' error. This confuses me because there isn't anything stating a color value (besides the picture, but I've changed that three times, so I don't believe that is the issue).

Code:

win.fill(pygame.image.load('Background/Yellow.png').convert()) 
if walkCount + 1 >= 27:
    walkCount = 0
    
if left:  
    win.blit(walkLeft[walkCount//3], (x,y))
    walkCount += 1                          
elif right:
    win.blit(walkRight[walkCount//3], (x,y))
    walkCount += 1
elif idle:
    win.blit(char1, (x, y))
    walkCount = 0

You cannot fill a window with a background image, however you can blit the background:

background = pygame.image.load('Background/Yellow.png').convert()

win.blit(background, (0, 0))

If the background is a different size than the window, you need to scale the background image with pygame.transform.smoothscale:

background = pygame.image.load('Background/Yellow.png').convert()
scaled_background = pygame.transform.smoothscale(background, win.get_size())

win.blit(scaled_background, (0, 0))
