Lionel,

Assuming you have the current version of mpl, use the "extend" kwarg:

     colorbar properties:

         extend='neither', 'both', 'min', 'max'
                 If not 'neither', make pointed end(s) for out-of-range
                 values.  These are set for a given colormap using the
                 colormap set_under and set_over methods.

If the colorbar is attached to a filled contour plot, however, you do 
not need to specify this kwarg in the colorbar call because it will be 
grabbed from the ContourSet object.
