OK, so if anyone's interested, I've got a little workaround.
Basically, it's slightly mod-ing of colorbar so that it works (I'm
doing a vertical bar, with /right set)- the keyword I was looking for
is [xyz]tick_get:
PLOT,[minrange,maxrange], [minrange,maxrange], /NODATA,
XTICKS=1, $
YTICKS=divisions, XSTYLE=1, YSTYLE=1, $
POSITION=position, COLOR=color, CHARSIZE=charsize, /NOERASE,
$
YTICKFORMAT='(A1)', XTICKFORMAT='(A1)', YTICKLEN=ticklen , $
YRANGE=[minrange, maxrange], FONT=font, _EXTRA=extra,
YMINOR=minor, ytick_get=Y_tick_values
mid = FINDGEN(divisions)
FOR i=0, N_ELEMENTS(y_tick_values)-2 DO BEGIN
mid[i] = (y_tick_values[i]+y_tick_values[i+1])/2
ENDFOR
AXIS, YAXIS=1, YTICKV=mid, $
YTICKFORMAT=format, YTICKS=divisions, $
YTICKLEN=ticklen, YSTYLE=1, COLOR=color, CHARSIZE=charsize,
$
FONT=font, YTITLE=title, _EXTRA=extra, YMINOR=minor,
YTICKNAME=ticknames
