how can I change the color of bootstrap checkbox?

Question

I have the following HTML code:

<div class="container">
  <form name="queryForm" class="form-inline text-center">
    <p class="checkbox-inline">
      <input type="checkbox" name="optionsRadios" id="checkOther" value="other" ng-model="formData.other" ng-true-value="'other'" ng-init="formData.other='other'">Other</p>
   </form>
 </div>

and the result of that is:

What's the simplest way of changing this color to a given one, for example D7B1D7?

Answer 1

If you use bootstrap and you need to change checkbox color background, just override this styles:

.custom-checkbox .custom-control-input:checked ~ .custom-control-label::before {
  background-color: green!important;
}

.custom-checkbox .custom-control-input:checked:focus ~ .custom-control-label::before {
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px #fff, 0 0 0 0.2rem rgba(0, 255, 0, 0.25)
}
.custom-checkbox .custom-control-input:focus ~ .custom-control-label::before {
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px #fff, 0 0 0 0.2rem rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25)
}
.custom-checkbox .custom-control-input:active ~ .custom-control-label::before {
  background-color: #C8FFC8; 
}

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

I've adapted the .squaredThree class from this CodePen for your example. There's a Fiddle link at the bottom of my answer if you want to see a live example.

Here's the updated CSS:

/* .squaredThree */
.squaredThree {
  position: relative;
  float:left;
}

.squaredThree label {
  width: 20px;
  height: 20px;
  cursor: pointer;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  background: #D7B1D7;
  border-radius: 4px;
  box-shadow: inset 0px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), 0px 1px 0px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
}

.squaredThree label:after {
  content: '';
  width: 9px;
  height: 5px;
  position: absolute;
  top: 4px;
  left: 4px;
  border: 3px solid #fcfff4;
  border-top: none;
  border-right: none;
  background: transparent;
  opacity: 0;
  -webkit-transform: rotate(-45deg);
  transform: rotate(-45deg);
}

.squaredThree label:hover::after {
  opacity: 0.3;
}

.squaredThree input[type=checkbox] {
  visibility: hidden;
}

.squaredThree input[type=checkbox]:checked + label:after {
  opacity: 1;
}
/* end .squaredThree */

I've updated your HTML to include another label, as the original label is used as a pseudo checkbox. This is your updated HTML:

<div class="container">
  <form name="queryForm" class="form-inline">
    <div class="squaredThree">
      <input type="checkbox" name="optionsRadios" id="checkOther" value="other" ng-model="formData.other" ng-true-value="'other'" ng-init="formData.other='other'">
      <label for="checkOther"></label>
    </div>
    <label class="label-text">Other</label>
  </form>
</div>

Note that the additional label exists outside the .squaredThree div. The label has a class of .label-text as some additional styling rules are needed to move the text slightly to the right of the checkbox:

.label-text {
  position: relative;
  left: 10px;
}

Finally, the size of the check in the checkbox isn't quite right so an additional rule is needed to rectify that:

*,
::before,
::after {
  box-sizing: initial;
}

.custom-checkbox .custom-control-input:checked ~ .custom-control-label::before {
  border-color: #D7B1D7;
  background-color: #D7B1D7;
