the panel color actually changes (becoming a little brighter, with my theme). Why does this happen?
I fear this is a FAQ, but couldn't find anything about it.. ^^;
Aside from that, is there a way to retrieve the "real" background color? (The slightly darker one, in my case)
Thanks for your time!

Not completely sure but its probably just getting the default panel color that the panel is initialized with before any theming is applied.

See wx.SystemSettings_GetColour

I tried printing every wx.SYS_COLOUR* and the only matching one is
SYS_COLOUR_MENUBAR.. Weird indeed I'll settle with that though.. Many
thanks!

Depending on your theme the default background may actually be a texture or a slight gradient rather than a solid color, and GetBackgroundColour is just returning a close approximation of the texture as a solid color value that it is getting from the system.
