CSS: How do you change the color of the "check" within an HTML checkbox?

Question

How do you change the color of the "check" within an HTML checkbox?

By default, on WinXP Firefox/Chrome/IE - the check is green. I would like to change the check within an INPUT type="checkbox" to orange

You can use JavaScript to present styled elements that function as checkboxes. Here's one plugin that uses jQuery.
