You just need to configure your notebook and tab to use the colors you want. You have to be careful what frame or widget is in the Notebook frame. For example, if you have a canvas in there, you need to change the canvas color. I've used this technique to match tab and notebook page colors in ztkdb where you can see how I juggle a hash full of colors, to make the tab and frame have the same color. You can have a hash giving values like $nb_color{$page} = 'whatever'; and load it when $page is raised.

A simpler example: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;
use Tk::NoteBook;
        
my $mw = MainWindow->new;
$mw->geometry('300x200');
         
         
my $page_tab_default_font = 
             [-family =>'Linotype Birka',
              -size => 15, 
              -weight => 'normal', 
              -underline => 0];     

my $page_tab_select_font = 
             [-family =>'Linotype Birka', 
              -size => 15, 
              -weight => 'bold', 
              -underline => 1];    
         
my $nb_widget = $mw->NoteBook(-font=>$page_tab_default_font)
                         ->pack(-expand=>1, -fill=>'both');

my $nb_page_01= $nb_widget->add("page1", -label=>'PAGE 1',

                               -raisecmd=>\&raised_handler);

my $nb_page_02=$nb_widget->add("page2", -label=>'PAGE 2', 
                               -raisecmd=>\&raised_handler);

MainLoop;
         
         
sub raised_handler {
     my $raised_page =
              print "@_\n";
              my $frame = shift;
              print "current frame: $frame\n"; 
              my $current = $nb_widget->raised();
              print "$current is current\n";
                      
              #$nb_widget->page_widget($nb_widget->raised());
     #
     # HOW DO I PROCEED FURTHER ?????
     #
             $frame->configure(-bg=> 'lightyellow');
             $nb_widget->configure(-bg => 'lightyellow'); 
       }
