Typically I see a checkbox with the inside "box" colored the same
color as the check (if it were checked). You can probably accomplish
this with CSS, which is probably where it should be, since it's more
presentation than anything (i.e. it should probably not effect the
state of the checkbox itself, unless you have a need for it. Do you?).
