In doing some basic debugging, I found that the return value of the forementioned ttk::style lookup call is a value of "systemWindowBody".  Making the following call:

I don't think the Mac-native system colors can be accurately specified 
in RGB; you may simply be better off wrapping the tablelist 
configuration call in something like this:

if [tk windowingsystem ] = eq "aqua" {
	.tl configure -background systemWindowBody
}

or whatever you want to use. See the "colors" man page for a list and 
experiment.
