Apologies for all-too-brief reply the first time around. I am
more than rusty with matplot, but need to brush up again.
What you are wanting to do is not so straightforward and,
unfortunately, is not documented all in one place. I have
found a number of references to different bits-and-pieces
of the puzzle, and I include these here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=871x367j87.fsf%40peds-pc311.bsd.uchicago.edu
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=87ll50xybc.fsf%40peds-pc311.bsd.uchicago.edu
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=87br7eoo4o.fsf%40florent.maison
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=m2d61xe7lv.fsf%40mother.paradise.lost
(in particular, the frame - x and y "axes" - does not have a
color setting and needs to be turned off, following which lines
can be drawn in its place with axhline and axvline)
I am sure more searching in the mail archives will yield
more gems!
Part of the issue is, I think, that these are all different types
of objects and therefore handled in different ways.
It would be really good to come up with a definitive example
and post it here.... when the question arises again, we can
just point back to this example (and possibly ask for it to be
included in further releases of the samples.zip from the
website).

Hi Derek,
I did
setp(a2.get_xticklabels(), color='w')
setp(a2.get_yticklabels(), color='w')
and this made the ticklabels readable, which is the main thing.
Ideally it would be nice to change the axes and tickmark colors but
it's not essential.
setp(a2.get_xticks(), color='w')
setp(a2.get_yticks(), color='w')
setp(a2.get_axes(), edgecolor='w')
don't work.
Many thanks, George Nurser.
