I’m having a problem whereby every colour I declare in Tkinter (background
colour, font colour etc.) is always a shade lighter when viewed on OS X.
Take for example the test code:
import Tkinter
root = Tkinter.Tk()
root.configure(bg="#00")
root.configure(borderwidth=20)
root.geometry('%dx%d
Hi Patrick,
I noted something similar in a post to this list in May 2013:

My GUI used a gif for borders, and I will with a colored canvas.
On the (then) new Macosx, the colors of the gif were different
from the canvas color

...while on Windows or earlier versions of Macosx, the gif
and canvas merged seamlessly.

OS X changed its default rendering of RGB a few years ago; Tk

Thanks both Kevin and Mick,
Mick - it’s always nice to know I’m not the only one with the problem!
Kevin - your solution worked.
I initially installed ActiveTcl 8.6, which it seems isn’t compatible with
Python 2/3
At the time of writing ActiveTcl 8.4/8.5 (32 bit/64 bit) are recommended for OS
X
Just as a follow up:
If you’re packaging ActiveTcl into a .app for OS X (using PyInstaller, py2app
or similar) it may not work from the onset.
I ended up having to comment out the ‘teapot’ code in
/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources/Scripts/init.tcl to
