### PORTABILITY ISSUES

macOS
  On macOS, the following additional system colors are available. This first group contains all of the HIBrush colors available in the HIToolbox library.

  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 macOS 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 contrasts with its predecessor.

    systemWindowBackgroundColor1
    systemWindowBackgroundColor2
    systemWindowBackgroundColor3
    systemWindowBackgroundColor4
