This is something that only happens on Aqua, and what you are
working with is this:

style map . \
   -foreground [list  disabled "#a3a3a3"  background "#a3a3a3"] \
   -selectbackground [list background "#c3c3c3"  !focus "#c3c3c3"] \
   -selectforeground [list background "#a3a3a3"  !focus "#000000"] \
   ;

To get around this for your entire app, do:

style map . -foreground [list background black]

or just labels, replace '.' with TLabel, or to have a label that is
always black (on a case-by-base), do:

style default Active.TLabel -foreground black
ttk::label -style Active.TLabel ...

Like so?

style default Slim.Toolbutton -padding 1
ttk::button $w -style Slim.Toolbutton ...
