Oh yes, I failed to check this properly; you can fix this by additionally
setting the highlightcolor though:
##########################
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
f1 = Frame(root, bg='white', highlightthickness=2, highlightbackground='red',
highlightcolor='red', width=200, height=200)
f1.pack(padx=100, pady=100, fill='both', expand=1)
Button( f1, text='Button 1' ).pack()
f2 = Frame(root, bg='white', highlightthickness=2, highlightbackground='green',
width=200, height=200)
f2.pack(padx=100, pady=100, fill='both', expand=1)
Button( f2, text='Button 2' ).pack()
root.mainloop()
##########################
Regards
Michael
