How do i change the background color of a frame in tkinter?

I am trying to change the background of the window of my gui. Can someone explain why this don't work.

I am using python version 3.6.3

    from tkinter import *


class Window(Frame):

    #Initialize the Window
    def __init__(self, master=None, bg = "#a6a6a6"):

        # Parameters that you want to send through the window
        Frame.__init__(self, master)

        self.master = master
        self.bg = bg


root = Tk()
root.geometry("400x300")

app = Window(root)

root.mainloop()

self.master.configure(background='black')

Should do the job.

You make a variable called self.bg which stores the background color, however dont set it. Replace self.bg with the above code and change black to reflect the desired color.

e.g. self.master.configure(background=bg)

The resulting code would be

from tkinter import *
class Window(Frame):
    def __init__(self, master=None, bg = "#a6a6a6"):
        Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.master = master
        self.master.configure(background='black')

root = Tk()
root.geometry("400x300")
app = Window(root)
root.mainloop()
