Kafka,

I was hoping a monk with "Tk::JBrowseEntry" experience would give you some help, since I never worked with it, and only played with "Tk" a few times. That said, after you build your '%color_of' hash you could build another hash with the values of '%color_of' as the keys. ie: Untested! 

my %color_of = (
    "apple"  => "red",
    "orange" => "orange",
    "grape"  => "purple",
);
my %rev_color = ();
foreach my $key ( keys %color_of )
{   $rev_color{ $color_of{ $key } } = $key; }

This allows you to lookup '$value' by using the contents of '$var' as the key for your '%rev_color' hash. ie: 

print "Var = $var, Get Result $rev_color{ $var }\n";

Note: you can't have duplicate keys in the new hash.

It may not be perfect, but it's a way of getting your desired results.
