Bryan Oakley code is correct

root.configure(background="color")

but, color must be enclosed with quotes single('') or double("")

For a window named root, to change the background color using colorchooser, you would do:

color = colorchooser.askcolor()
color_name = color[1]    #to pick up the color name in HTML notation, i.e. the 2nd element of the tuple returned by the colorchooser
root.configure(background=color_name)

Assuming the root window is name root, you would do:

root.configure(background=color)
