Not all labels colored in scientific notation

Bug report

Bug summary

axis.tick_params(axis='y', colors='b') fails to color all labels in scientific notation. It fails on numbers that are not a full decade (e.g. 2 x 10^1).

Code for reproduction

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

ax.plot([1,5,10],[1,5,10])

ax.set_xscale('log')
ax.set_yscale('log')

ax.set_xlim([1e0,1e1])
ax.set_ylim([1e0,1e1])

ax.yaxis.label.set_color('b')
ax.spines['left'].set_edgecolor('b')
ax.tick_params(axis='y', colors='b')

plt.savefig('test.png')
plt.show()

Actual outcome

Expected outcome

All tick labels should be colored
