Prerequisite: Creating a button in tkinter, Python GUI – tkinter

In this article, we are going to write a Python script to change the color of the button in Tkinter. It can be done with two methods:

Using bg properties.
Using activebackground properties.

Example 1: using bg properties.

We can change the button background color with bg properties, The default color of the button is grey but here we are going to change.

Python3

# import tkinter module 
from tkinter import *   
  
# create a tkinter window
master = Tk()  
  
# Open window having dimension 200x100
master.geometry('200x100')  
    
# Create a Button
button = Button(master, 
                text = 'Submit', 
                bg='blue').pack()  
  
master.mainloop()

Output:

Example 2: Using activebackground properties.

These properties will change the button background color while clicking the button.

Python3

# import tkinter module 
from tkinter import *   
  
# create a tkinter window
master = Tk()  
  
# Open window having dimension 200x100
master.geometry('200x100')  
    
# Create a Button
button = Button(master, 
                text = 'Submit', 
                bg='white', 
                activebackground='blue').pack()  
    
master.mainloop()
