Martin Honnen,

NN4+ and IE4+ allow to set the background color with css
  <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" STYLE="background-color: lime;" ...>

IE4+ and NN6 also allow dynamic change with JavaScript, for instance in 
the onclick handler:

<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="aCheckBox" VALUE="Kibo"
       STYLE="background-color: lime;"
       ONCLICK="if (this.style && !this.checked) 
                  this.style.backgroundColor = 'lime';
                else if (this.style && this.checked)
                  this.style.backgroundColor = 'red';"
