This question is regarding Create an Options Menu Workshop. As all the checkboxes are in Pink color, I was wondering if there is any way for the menu items (with checkboxes) to have different colors; so that red checkbox can be in red color and the same for blue and green?

<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatCheckBox
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:buttonTint="@color/COLOR_HERE" />```
