I know this is kinda an old question but   root  bg      black    will also do what you want and it involves less typing

config is another option   widget1 config bg  black   widget2 config bg   000000     or   widget1 config background  black   widget2 config background   000000

widget  bg       000000    or  widget  background       000000    would also work as hex-valued colors are also accepted
