Description
If I make a graphic with logarithmic colour scaling, the tooltip only shows the logged value, rather than the original value that is more meaningful in the context

.
It's similar to #804 , which dealt with transformed axes.

Start by reproducing a ggplotly graphic with logarithmic colour scaling and inspect the tooltip values. Compare the behavior with issue #804, which addressed transformed axes; done means the tooltip shows the original colour value rather than the logged value.
