GTK+ 1.2

 GtkRcStyle *rc_style; GdkColor color; color.red = 65535; color.green = 0; color.blue = 0; rc_style = gtk_rc_style_new(); rc_style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] = color; rc_style->color_flags[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] |= GTK_RC_BG; gtk_widget_modify_style (widget, rc_style); gtk_rc_style_unref (rc_style);

GTK+ 2.24

Using the GDK Library:

GtkWidget *widget; //your widget GdkColor color; gdk_color_parse ("red", &color); //setting a color - you can also use RGB gtk_widget_modify_bg(widget, GTK_STATE_NORMAL, &color); //modifying the background color of the widget

Full reference about GdkColor can be found at GNOME'S Dev Documentation.

GTK 3.0

For gtk+3 you can use gtk_css_provider() .Full tutorials and examples can be found at the GTK+ Forums.
