PyQt5 – Change color of Push Button

In this article we will see how to change the color of button. By default, when we create a button it is of grey color although PyQt5 allows us to change this color. Below is the difference in default button and colored button.

In order to do this we will use setStyleSheet method.

Syntax : button.setStyleSheet(“background-color : yellow”)

Argument : It takes string as argument.

Action performed : It adds the color to button

Code :

# importing libraries
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
import sys


class Window(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # setting title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")

        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400)

        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()

        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()

    # method for widgets
    def UiComponents(self):

        # creating a push button
        button = QPushButton("CLICK", self)

        # setting geometry of button
        button.setGeometry(200, 150, 100, 40)

        # changing color of button
        button.setStyleSheet("background-color : yellow")

        # adding action to a button
        button.clicked.connect(self.clickme)


    # action method
    def clickme(self):


        # printing pressed
        print("pressed")

# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())

Output :
