# Python - Tkinter Colors

Tkinter represents colors with strings. There are two general ways to specify colors in Tkinter:

- You can use a string specifying the proportion of red, green, and blue in hexadecimal digits. For example, "#fff" is white, "#000000" is black, "#000fff000" is pure green, and "#00ffff" is pure cyan (green plus blue).

- You can also use any locally defined standard color name. The colors "white", "black", "red", "green", "blue", "cyan", "yellow", and "magenta" will always be available.

## Color options:

The common color options are:

- activebackground: Background color for the widget when the widget is active.

- activeforeground: Foreground color for the widget when the widget is active.

- background: Background color for the widget. This can also be represented as bg.

- disabledforeground: Foreground color for the widget when the widget is disabled.

- foreground: Foreground color for the widget. This can also be represented as fg.

- highlightbackground: Background color of the highlight region when the widget has focus.

- highlightcolor: Foreground color of the highlight region when the widget has focus.

- selectbackground: Background color for the selected items of the widget.

- selectforeground: Foreground color for the selected items of the widget.
