Hello,
As most all are aware of, some of the tkinter widget attributes accept color. I'm thinking,
from a logical perspective, that there must be a way to determine programmatically if
that attribute is looking for a color.
for example tkinter Button activebackground
The following code gets most of what is needed:

Update: 8:14 P.M. EST
I don't like this, but guess I'll use a hack looking for foreground, background and whatever else uses a color value
I've been looking at the tkinter source, and I don't see anything that indicates the category of attribute expected. As
one final attempt, I'll examine the tk C code. It would be better to find some other way to do this.

root = Tk()
gw = GetWidgetAttributes(root)
# For Example, find all attributes of Tkinter Frame
gw.getAttributes(Button())but not that activebackground or background are looking for a color.Larz60+
