Re-opening.

If "Black" is not a portable color name,
then Tk's own demo collection ought not
be using it, right?  It does.

"Black" is not a cross-platform safe color name, but "black"
is (or better yet, #000000).  Use of named colors should be
restrictive (and all lower case) because the X server names
the colors (and Tk on Windows or Mac just aliases them).
