I am not able to change the color of the button using fg and bg. I get this error: "_tkinter.TclError: unknown option "-fg""
_scrape_btn = ttk.Button(
_mainframe, text='Scrape!', command=save
)
_scrape_btn.grid(row=2, column=0, sticky=(N,E), pady=2)
_compress_btn = ttk.Button(
_mainframe, text='Compress!', command=compress
)
_compress_btn.grid(row=2, column=1, sticky=W, pady=2)

I might be missing something but in the code you've provided there is no setting of colour whatsoever. Please provide the code where you are actually doing that.

@rbaleksandar The OP most probably tried to put it as a parameter in thettk.Buttonfunction, but got an error. So removed it and probably presented the code that was working. I will propose an edit to change it which would give an error.

The reason this is happening is because you are using ttk.Button instead of tk.Button. The options such as fg, bg are not supported by ttk. Instead you will have to use Style option and configure it as you require. Here is an example.
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.ttk as ttk
root = tk.Tk()
style = ttk.Style()
style.configure("TButton", foreground="blue", background="orange")
myButton = ttk.Button(text="Scrape", style="TButton")
myButton.grid()
root.mainloop()
