Please see [this thread](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/specify-digits-in-contour-plot-scale/71384) for a Plots.jl solution to control the number of digits in the colorbar.

On the other hand, a simple way to move the colorbar title away from the colorbar numbers is to add line breaks, e.g:

```julia
colorbar_title="\n\nlog10(SSE)"

```
