There's a Combobox option tk_setPalette,
but the name implies a canvas background, I don't know this to be fact, just an assumption.

If this is true, you can probably use pmw to create a custom window that will
allow individual item colors, but out of the box, I think you're stuck with a single color.
Howvere, nothing is to stop you from coloring the text of each item.

Output: |  tk_setPalette(self, *args, **kw)
 |      Set a new color scheme for all widget elements.
 |      
 |      A single color as argument will cause that all colors of Tk
 |      widget elements are derived from this.
 |      Alternatively several keyword parameters and its associated
 |      colors can be given. The following keywords are valid:
 |      activeBackground, foreground, selectColor,
 |      activeForeground, highlightBackground, selectBackground,
 |      background, highlightColor, selectForeground,
 |      disabledForeground, insertBackground, troughColor.
