对setStyleSheet的一点入门探索

最近学习pyqt教程（http://zetcode.com/gui/pyqt5/）到dialog章节时碰到一个疑问，先附上教程中的源码：

colordialog.py

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

"""
ZetCode PyQt5 tutorial 

In this example, we select a color value
from the QColorDialog and change the background
color of a QFrame widget.

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QWidget, QPushButton, QFrame, 
    QColorDialog, QApplication)
from PyQt5.QtGui import QColor
import sys

class Example(QWidget):
    
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        
        self.initUI()
        
        
    def initUI(self):      

        col = QColor(0, 0, 0) 

        self.btn = QPushButton('Dialog', self)
        self.btn.move(20, 20)

        self.btn.clicked.connect(self.showDialog)

        self.frm = QFrame(self)
        self.frm.setStyleSheet("QWidget { background-color: %s }" 
            % col.name())
        self.frm.setGeometry(130, 22, 100, 100)            
        
        self.setGeometry(300, 300, 250, 180)
        self.setWindowTitle('Color dialog')
        self.show()
        
        
    def showDialog(self):
      
        col = QColorDialog.getColor()

        if col.isValid():
            self.frm.setStyleSheet("QWidget { background-color: %s }"
                % col.name())
            
        
if __name__ == '__main__':
    
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    ex = Example()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

我的疑问在initUI函数这里：

self.frm.setStyleSheet("QWidget { background-color: %s }" 
            % col.name())

为什么frm设置样式时用的参数是父类QWidget而不是QFrame？这里的frm和QWidget到底是什么关系？
