Netlogo: Says its in turtle context when it is not

I have to make a button that colors in the patches in the bottom half of the grid randomly with darker shades of a given color based off of a slider, and the top of half of the grid randomly with lighter shades of a given color based off of the slider. When I wrote my code it says that I can't use my command because it is in patch-context because by command is in turtle-only context. I am confused because I am not using turtles, I am only using patches. Inside of my button I wrote "colorRandomShade2" which is the name of my command. The button is also in patch context and its display name is "colorRandomShade2".

Code:

to colorRandomShade2
  if ycor > 0 [ set pcolor ( main_color + random 5 ) ]
  if ycor < 0 [ set pcolor ( main_color + random 9 ) ]
end

Patch coordinates are pxcor and pycor, but you have used xcor and ycor, which are the variable names for coordinates of a turtle. So you are pressing the button to call the code and the first thing that NetLogo sees is a request to look at the ycor or y-coordinate of a turtle.
