Title: Set artist colors in one fell swoop

Currently only sets axes frame, tickmarks, ticklabels and gridlines (if they are on). This addresses issue #326.

I've thought a little bit about where this should live and considered putting it in `figure.py`, however I decided against this because the figure's colour (using `show`) and the colour that's used when executing `savefig` are *different*. I wanted to give the user the option to choose this without touching it using the `set_artists_color` method.

Feedback welcome.
