I'm trying to set the background colour on a menu item on tk aqua. I'm sure this was working before, but now it seems to be ignoring it. Any suggestions?

        menu $sm -tearoff 0
        foreach colour {red orange yellow green blue purple} {
                $sm add command \
                                -activebackground $colour \
                                -background $colour \
                                -label "   $colour            " \
                                -command "can't you read the sign?"
        }
