Tk supports all of the NSColors in the macOS System ColorList. The convention for naming these colors is that the Tk name is generated by capitalizing the macOS name and adding the prefix "system". On OSX 10.14 (Mojave) and later many of these "semantic" colors will appear differently depending on whether the NSWindow in which they are used has the Aqua or DarkAqua appearance. The System ColorList differs between releases of macOS and some colors, such as systemLinkColor and systemControlAccentColor, are simulated on older systems which did not provide them. All of the colors below are available on all supported macOS releases, but newer systems will support additional colors.

systemControlAccentColor
systemControlTextColor
systemDisabledControlTextColor
systemLabelColor
systemLinkColor
systemPlaceholderTextColor
systemSelectedTextBackgroundColor
systemSelectedTextColor
systemSeparatorColor
systemTextBackgroundColor
systemTextColor

The numbered systemWindowBackgroundColors below are used in the ttk::notebook and ttk::labelframe widgets to provide a contrasting background. Each numbered color constrasts with its predecessor.
