Impossible to see Checkboxes

If I'm having nightmares about the checkboxes I can't imagine people with a bad vision
They need more contrast, or a color when checked or something, anything
light gray checkmark on light gray bg vs light gray unchecked makes my brain hurt

Hello @AuracleTech - it looks like issues #49877 and #49917 are duplicates of each other. Could you keep one of them open and close the other so we can focus our responses to your request. Thank you! (cc @queenofcorgis)

Hello @AuracleTech - there have been some updates to the checkbox component recently. Could you re-test the checkbox color contrast issue to see if it is now resolved for you? If it is not resolved, could you provide more information on what theme(s) you are using, your OS, and preferred browser? Thanks so much!

Issue not resolved. Dark mode on Windows 11, I use brave browser.
These are the colors used for the checked checkbox currently. As you can see the contrast is not ideal.
Along side that the difference between a checked checkbox and a non checked checkbox is minimal.
In the end both the non checked and checked variant are hard to differ from one another, but the checked symbol itself also is hard quickly spot.

Hello @AuracleTech - I updated the internal issue with your additional context and it was not reproducible by the team.

Would it be possible to include a link to the checklist shown in the screenshot you shared? Thanks!
