Gets the background color for a given state.
This function is far less useful than it seems, and it should not be used in newly written code. CSS has no concept of "background color", as a background can be an image, or a gradient, or any other pattern including solid colors.
The only reason why you would call gtk.style_context.StyleContext.getBackgroundColor is to use the returned value to draw the background with it; the correct way to achieve this result is to use gtk.global.renderBackground instead, along with CSS style classes to modify the color to be rendered.
