if you mean the 1- or 2-pixel border used to (typically) draw the "sunken"
"3D" effect, then I don't think so. I believe these colors are
automagically derived by some internal Tk routine from the background
color of the widget.
However, you could try some trickery packing the entry into another Frame:

root = Tk()
f = Frame(root)
f.pack(fill='both', expand=1)
f1 = Frame(f, bg='blue', relief='sunken', bd=2)
f1.pack(padx=100, pady=100)
e = Entry(f1, relief='flat', bd=0)
e.pack(fill='both', expand=1)
root.mainloop()

(with ttk widgets you will have to configure the widget's styles instead
of adding simple config options of course, but I guess you see the
point.)

Michael
