From the official tkinter documentation:

Colors can be given as the names of X colors in the rgb.txt file, or as strings representing RGB values in 4 bit: "#RGB", 8 bit: "#RRGGBB", 12 bit” "#RRRGGGBBB", or 16 bit "#RRRRGGGGBBBB" ranges, where R,G,B here represent any legal hex digit. See page 160 of Ousterhout’s book for details.

You can replace it from your example. such as if you want to use #B0BF1A

window.configure(background='#B0BF1A')
browse_label = gui.Label(window, text="Image path :", bg="#B0BF1A").place(x=20, y=20)

I'm not sure whether this is compatible in python 2.7, but try this: Default window colour Tkinter and hex colour codes

The code of the accepted answer is as follows (NOT MINE):

import Tkinter

mycolor = '#%02x%02x%02x' % (64, 204, 208)  # set your favourite rgb color
mycolor2 = '#40E0D0'  # or use hex if you prefer 
root = Tkinter.Tk()
root.configure(bg=mycolor)
Tkinter.Button(root, text="Press me!", bg=mycolor, fg='black',
               activebackground='black', activeforeground=mycolor2).pack()
root.mainloop()
