How to leave the oceans blank in the Basemap?

Question

The following code produces a map with a color scheme. I need the colors to stay only on the continents, leaving the oceans blank. How do I get this? excel file : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z3YCMyGRqX8q7TNC3w6BkDw2cuN2E0_P7W42syGmz7s/edit#gid=1183595729
