In vision I am using the built in checkboxes and I have no been able to find a way to change the check box color from blue when enabled.
I would like the checkbox to be grey when pressed with the checkmark white.
Vision is built on Java Swing and it does not support custom theming very well.
My advice is to avoid going down this unsupported rabbit hole.

I remember reading @dkhayes117's exploits in this rabbit hole back when I was going down it myself. I developed a lot of cool approaches to the problem here:
Check Mark Box is not Visible it is Transparent
...none of which have I ever used in production 
If you need custom colors on a checkbox component, my recommendation would be to simply make a template. In reality, a checkbox component is nothing more than a button with two icons. Make a couple of shapes: one that represents an unchecked box, and one that represents the check. Then, simply bind the fill colors to an external property on the template, and inversely toggle everything with a mouse event.
Example:
checkbox.zip (4.0 KB)
Result:
The example template has external properties that allow the user to set the selected background, unselected background, and checkmark colors.
