Why does ycolor also color the xaxis?

After using plotyy, the ycolor command turns the left yaxis blue, right yaxis red and the xaxis red. I want xaxis to remain black. Using xcolor has no effect.
set(gca,{'ycolor'},{'b';'r'})

With plotyy, you can use the output arguments to get access to the 'right' axes. Setting the property on gca would just affect the left axis (and I'd have expected an error with the syntax you provided):
ax=plotyy(1:10,1:10,1:10,ones(1,10));
set(ax(1),'YColor','b');
set(ax(2),'YColor','r');
Note that as you'll see on the plotyy documentation page, plotyy is not recommended, and we suggest you use yyaxis instead. Here is the equivalent code using yyaxis:
figure
yyaxis left
plot(1:10,1:10);
set(gca,'YColor','b')
yyaxis right
plot(1:10,ones(1,10));
set(gca,'YColor','r')
