Welcome to Stackoverflow. You should provide a Minimal Reproducible Example

According to your error:

TclError: image "pyimage10" doesn't exist

I provide the full\absolute path which is in my case

self.banana='C:\\Users\\Python\\banana.gif'

I also keep a reference to the image:

self.master.banana= PhotoImage(file = self.banana)

Here the complete code:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from tkinter import Tk, Label, Frame, PhotoImage

class MyWindow():
    def __init__(self, master=None):
        self.banana='C:\\Users\\Python\\banana.gif'
        self.master = master
        self.master.title('select bordercolor')

        self.f_button = Frame(self.master)
        self.f_button.pack(side= "left", padx=5, pady=1)
        self.master.banana= PhotoImage(file = self.banana) 

        self.label= Label(self.master, image=self.master.banana, relief="raised", bd=6)
        self.label.pack(side="right", padx=7)

if __name__== '__main__':
    root = Tk()
    MyWindow(root)
    root.mainloop()

You have other errors in your code but this is an other question worth. See tkinter command option in buttons!

I was working with tkinter and found the same error but interestingly i notice a pattern like some time it work and sometime it show this error!

the easy fix for this is run this code first :

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.TK()

root.mainloop()

after that is will show more than one Tkinter windows just close all and then run your code FROM START I.E FROM IMPORTING THE LIBRAIRES AGAIN AND THEN RUNNING THE CODE.

I hope this will fix the issue.
