You can use accent-color property in css to change background color of both checkbox and radio buttons.

input[type=checkbox] {
  accent-color: red;
}

Try this.

css and html for checkbox

.container {
  display: block;
  position: relative;
  padding-left: 35px;
  margin-bottom: 12px;
  cursor: pointer;
  font-size: 22px;
  -webkit-user-select: none;
  -moz-user-select: none;
  -ms-user-select: none;
  user-select: none;
}

/* Hide the browser's default checkbox */
.container input {
  position: absolute;
  opacity: 0;
  cursor: pointer;
  height: 0;
  width: 0;
}

/* Create a custom checkbox */
.checkmark {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  height: 25px;
  width: 25px;
  background-color: #FA9E57;
}

/* On mouse-over, add a grey background color */
.container:hover input ~ .checkmark {
  background-color: #FA9E57;
}

/* When the checkbox is checked, add a blue background */
.container input:checked ~ .checkmark {
  background-color: #FA9E57;
}

/* Create the checkmark/indicator (hidden when not checked) */
.checkmark:after {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  display: none;
}

/* Show the checkmark when checked */
.container input:checked ~ .checkmark:after {
  display: block;
}

/* Style the checkmark/indicator */
.container .checkmark:after {
  left: 9px;

You can't modify checkbox color.

Instead, create pseudo elements with background custom background color, like this :

.form-check {
  position: relative;
}

input[type=checkbox] {
  width: 20px;
  height: 20px;
}

input[type=checkbox]:checked+label::before {
  content: "";
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  text-align: center;
  height: 20px;
  width: 20px;
  left: 0;
  top: 5px;
  background-color: #FA9E57;
  font-family: "Montserrat";
  border-radius: 2px;
  border: 1px solid rgb(150 150 150 / 30%);
}

input[type=checkbox]:checked+label::after {
  content: url('data:image/svg+xml; utf8, ');
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  left: 3px;
  top: 3px;
}

:before element is used to set background color, and :after element contain svg for checkmark.
