you can use the following css to make it red when it is not checked, and black when it is checked

.custom-control-label:before{
  background-color:red;
}
.custom-checkbox .custom-control-input:checked~.custom-control-label::before{
  background-color:black;
}

The color of the arrow can be changed by the following code

.custom-checkbox .custom-control-input:checked~.custom-control-label::after{
  background-image:url("data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf8,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 8 8'%3E%3Cpath fill='red' d='M6.564.75l-3.59 3.612-1.538-1.55L0 4.26 2.974 7.25 8 2.193z'/%3E%3C/svg%3E");
}

this code will make the tick red, you can change the color by changing the fill='red' value to a color of your choice.

Edit: Note, if specifying RGB color, eg. #444444 use %23 for the hash, eg. %23444444

Or you could use any image you like instead.

    }
    .custom-control-input:active~.custom-control-label::before{
        background-color:green;
    }
   
    /** focus shadow pinkish **/
    .custom-checkbox .custom-control-input:focus~.custom-control-label::before{
        box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px #fff, 0 0 0 0.2rem rgba(255, 0, 247, 0.25);

    <input type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input" id="customCheck1">  
    <label class="custom-control-label" for="customCheck1">Check this custom checkbox</label>  
</div>

EDIT: added a focus color (pinkish) after a request from @cprcrack

sweet but how about changing color of the icon inside?

knetsi Over a year ago

added the css that you have to use to be able to change the tick icon

shaneparsons Over a year ago

What about the light blue that shows up when holding down the mouse click?

knetsi Over a year ago

@shaneparsons updated the code snippet, now it should be displayed as green.

What about the light blue shadow that shows up around when focused?

I'd like to add an answer here that's a bit simpler and more generic version of knetsi's answer, for those who may not be interested in making the color change contingent on the :checked pseudo-class.

I simply wanted to define a class my-error that I can add or remove to the checkbox to change its color, in this case to reflect an error condition. The color stays the same whether the box is checked or not.

Here's how it looks in code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.2/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-Smlep5jCw/wG7hdkwQ/Z5nLIefveQRIY9nfy6xoR1uRYBtpZgI6339F5dgvm/e9B" crossorigin="anonymous">

<style>
  .custom-checkbox .custom-control-input.my-error~.custom-control-label::before{
    background-color:orangered;
  }
</style>

<div class="custom-control custom-checkbox">
  <input type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input my-error" id="customCheck1">
  <label class="custom-control-label" for="customCheck1">Check this custom checkbox</label>
</div>
