To set the background color of an Entry widget in Tkinter, pass required color value to the bg parameter to the Entry class constructor, as shown below.
tk.Entry(window, bg="lightgreen")
tk.Entry(window, bg="#FFFF00")
In this tutorial, you will learn how to set the background color of an Entry widget with a required color value, with examples.
Examples
1. Set light green color for the Entry widget background
In this example, we create a basic Tk window with an Entry widget and set its background color with the “lightgreen”.
Python Program
import tkinter as tk
# Create the main window
window = tk.Tk()
window.title("PythonExamples.org")
window.geometry("300x200")
label = tk.Label(window, text="Enter your input")
label.pack()
# Create an Entry widget
entry = tk.Entry(window, bg="lightgreen")
entry.pack()
# Run the application
window.mainloop()
Output
In Windows
In MacOS

In this example, we create a basic Tk window with an Entry widget and set its background color with the “#FFFF00”.
Python Program
import tkinter as tk
# Create the main window
window = tk.Tk()
window.title("PythonExamples.org")
window.geometry("300x200")
label = tk.Label(window, text="Enter your input")
label.pack()
# Create an Entry widget
entry = tk.Entry(window, bg="#FFFF00")
entry.pack()
