Add support for `color` attribute to checkbox

[HeavenlyHost]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

How do I bind the color of the checkbox widget, it does not appear to work and is stuck on accent color ?

What is the expected behavior?

to be able to bind the color property to the something in the parent component

What is the current behavior?

stuck on accent color

What are the steps to reproduce?

try and bind the color to something other other than accent

Providing a Plunker (or similar) is the best way to get the team to see your issue.
Plunker template: http://plnkr.co/edit/o077B6uEiiIgkC0S06dd

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, browsers are affected?

Is there anything else we should know?

[szadrutsky]

Same for me. I am not able to change color/styles tried to change overriding color matrix in core ... No luck

I suspect this is as designed according to Google Material Design spec. Although I do disagree with this. Need to check specs.

The checkbox simply doesn't have this feature yet.

@jelbourn do we have an ETA ?

I figured out a hack for now by making a theme. https://github.com/angular/material2/blob/master/docs/theming.md

$theme2: md-dark-theme($primary, $primary, $warn);
@include md-checkbox-theme($theme2);

Here is the full file to give better idea. Stuff at the end basically.

@import '~@angular2-material/core/theming/theming';
@import '~@angular2-material/core/theming/palette';
@import '~@angular2-material/core/core';
@import '~@angular2-material/button/button-theme';

// Include the base styles for Angular Material core. We include this here so that you only have to load a single css file for Angular Material in your app.
@include md-core();

// Define the palettes for your theme using the Material Design palettes available in palette.scss (imported above).
// For each palette, you can optionally specify a default, lighter, and darker hue.
$primary: md-palette($md-blue);
$accent:  md-palette($md-amber, A200, A100, A400);
$warn:    md-palette($md-deep-orange);

// Create the theme object (a Sass map containing all of the palettes).
$theme: md-dark-theme($primary, $accent, $warn);

// Include theme styles for core and each component used in your app.
@include md-core-theme($theme);
