Checkbox ticks in READMEs are barely visible on IOS

Body

On IOS, the tick in checkboxes is barely visible, making it hard to tell if its checked or not.

In this screenshot from a project's readme, the top two boxes are ticked, and the bottom two are not.

ℹ️ Additional Debug Info

GitHub for iOS, Version 1.111.1 (98645245) Device: iPhone 8 Plus (iOS 16.4.1)

Hi @Insprill, thanks for getting in touch, and I'm sorry about the late reply. I'm going to need some help to reproduce the issue that you are reporting because I see checkboxes using slightly different colors:

This is how checkboxes look for me in an issue body:

Do you have a link to the project's readme (if public) of the screenshot that you included in your comment? Thanks

The checkboxes are about halfway down the readme.

I just double checked an issue and a PR, and the checkboxes do render properly there, so it looks to only be an issue in readme's.

Thanks for confirming!

It's weird how on some pages (including issues and prs) they're blue and sometimes they're gray. Could it possibly be related to the repository? Also noticed that the same (blue or gray) color is visible in the Chrome browser.
I'm using Android 13.

This seems to be a bug affecting github.com and the mobile apps. We'll investigate further. Thanks!

Hi @Insprill - this issue should be resolved as reported in this comment tracking a similar issue. Could you re-test this out on your end? Thanks!

[Insprill]

The issue is still present. Screenshot taken from the psst repo I linked above. GitHub Mobile Version 1.195.0 (153853213), IOS v16.7.10.

Thank you @Insprill for the additional context and screenshot! Would you mind if I moved your issue over to the Accessibility category, so we can track this better?

[Insprill]

Go for it, I'd just like to see this solved :)

Just a quick follow-up @Insprill - the accessibility team was able to replicate your reported checkbox issue on iOS and the mobile team is looking into implementing a fix for it. We will follow-up here with any additional questions or updates. Thanks again!
