If you have access to the GtkStyle object, you might as well use the GdkColor arrays in the struct directly. For example, style->base[GTK_STATE_SELECTED] will give you the background colour for selected text in an entry widget. Symbolic colour schemes are a relatively new addition to GTK+, so I would avoid using them directly. It is much safer to use the bg/fg and base/text arrays to get colour information from the theme.
