The second group of MacOS colors below are based on Apple's "semantic" NScolors. On OSX 10.14 (Mojave) and later these colors change value when Dark Mode is enabled. However, the change is only observable when the Apple window manager is drawing to the screen. So the winfo rgb command will return the color coordinates used in the standard Aqua mode, even if Dark Mode has been selected in the system preferences. The numbered systemWindowBackgroundColors are used in the ttk::notebook and ttk::labelframe widgets to provide a contrasting background. Each numbered color constrasts with its predecessor.
