I took a crack at this the past few days and I've put a draft PR up here 
in case it is useful to anybody.

<https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/2502>

It turns out it's not as simple as replacing instances of "black" and 
"white". I think maybe tk uses black as a default so that might be 
happening in some places explaining the strange behaviour I'm seeing.
