colorbar returns a matplotlib.colorbar.Colorbar instance. This has an
Axes attribute attached as "ax", eg
cb = fig.colorbar(...)
cb.ax.set_xlabel('etc')
but you should look at the class methods available in the Colorbar
class proper. Eg, Colorbar.set_label will set either the xlabel or
the ylabel depending on the orientation.
