Can't set background color in tkinter

Question

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

def myClick():
    myLabel = Label(root, text='Button clicked. ')
    myLabel.pack()

myButton = Button(root, text="Click me!", command=myClick, fg='blue', background="red", activeforeground='green', activebackground='black')


myButton.pack()
root.mainloop()

The code runs fine except the background color. Could someone help? Many thanks BTW, I'm using Python 3.7.4 and macOS Catalina 10.15.2

The code works fine for me on Windows 10 (1909) and Python 3.8 using Pycharm. — DaniyalAhmadSE, Feb 15 '20 at 10:12

On python 3.8 and windows 7 at least is work fine. Style can work to, but with what u set is text color blue and background red, when the button is pressed the text will become green and the background black.
