In this video we’ll change selected text color, all text color, and the background color of the text widget itself.

Changing colors is pretty simple with Tkinter. We can use the colorchooser widget to pull up a neat color chooser dialog box. Once we’ve selected the color, we can set a text widget tag to change selected text color.

Or we can change all the text color, not just the selected text. Or we can change the background color of the text widget itself. We’ll look at all of those things in this video.
