On Windows 10, I have run into the same problem, and have found a solution, although not a very satisfying one. The following will create a black button with white foreground type:

First define a custom button style based on the standard TButton style

mystyle = ttk.Style()
mystyle.configure('mycustom.TButton',background='black',foreground='white')

Then create the button using the new custom style

mybutton = ttk.Button(root,style='mycustom.Tbutton')

I say 'not very satisfying' because this only works if I have previously set the overall theme to 'default' as follows:

mystyle = ttk.Style()
mystyle.theme_use('default')

Using any of the other themes available on my system (winnative,clam,alt,classic,vista and xpnative) will change only the border to black, and leave the background grey.
