There is but it is pretty much impossible to do the correct thing with
them. See my reply on your other question about the drag icon what you
should use.

If you want to explore what you do is get a Gtk.StyleContext from a
Gtk.Widget with Gtk.Widget.get_style_context(). It hold the information
you are looking for like font and colour information. You retrieve them
with Gtk.StyleContext.get_property() with a Gtk.STYLE_PROPERTY_*
property and Gtk.StateFlags.*.
