It would be great if it could be added a style that is only applied to the outer matrix node and does not affect the "cell" nodes inside the matrix. So far one has to "reset" the style for the cell nodes if a style has been applied to the outer matrix node.

\documentclass[border=5pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
    \usetikzlibrary{matrix}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[
%        % this affects also the "cell" nodes
%        every matrix/.append style={
%            blue,
%            draw,
%            line width=1.5pt,
%        },
]
    \matrix [
%        % here it is the same
%        every matrix/.append style={
            blue,
            draw,
            line width=1.5pt,
%        },
    ] {
        % this node should (just) be shown in black with a black border with
        % the default line width (because it isn't changed somewhere else here)
        \node [draw] {test}; \\
    };
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

For the record:
If this style is implemented, adapt the legend node in PGFPlots accordingly.
