set background of axes + labels

Hi,
I have an image like this:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7eMlcFeoB_rMTU1OTU0NmMtMzM3MC00YWI3LWFlNTYtNzg0MTM4MWI3OWMz

with an axes inside of another. I'd like to set the background behind
the labels of the inner figure.
I've tried set_frame_on on the axis, set_frameon on the figure,
axisbg_color, and so on.

How can I set the color being the axes labels.
thanks,
-Brent

Would it be sufficient to set the background color behind the text
labels? If 'ax' is your inner axes, do:

ax.yaxis.label.set_backgroundcolor('red')
ax.xaxis.label.set_backgroundcolor('red')

best,
