Set checkbox and radio color
How do you sent the color of a checkbox and radio button?
I have tried: <input type="radio" name="hear" value="brochure" style="background-color:#F
This shows the color when you scroll over the checkbox or radio button.
input.radio {
background-color: #FACD97;
color: #FACD97;
}

What do I need to do in css to change the colors of the checkboxes, even though it won't work on some? I am okay with that.
The links provided by xberry on his answer (http:#19705722) basically outline all the possible properties you could set and even shows the way they would come out on different browsers. At least, at a quick glance that seems what those links are for.
To actually implement anything specifically for checkboxes you'd need to give your checkboxes a classname, for instance "checkbox" (nice and simple)
<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" />
Then use whatever css you wold like to use to change the colors, for instance:
.checkbox {
border-color: #00F;
background-color: #88F;
color: #0F0;
}
Check in your favorite browsers what each property does, find the mix that works best for those browsers that you wish to support and you're done.
Trial and error is the only way to find out what meets your needs here.

That's not to say there isn't any way to do your own color radio-buttons or checkboxes at all. You can run a script to replace them with some smart html-elements and re-implement the behaviour of the checkboxes/radio's but that's a rather eleborate way to go and I'm not so sure I'd know where to start explaining this :)
