Looking at the code, I see that fillColor is transitory -- it changes 
with the state of the CheckButtonMorph.

Perhaps try:

Feature require: 'UI-MetaProperties'.
CheckButtonMorph example1 openInWorld.

Use the "Change Scale" construction handle to make it bigger.
Then open the checkButtonMorph's menu and click the pushpin.
As you move the mouse in and out over the checkButton and click it to 
change its state, you will see the fillColor change.
Use the menu to change the #color and #borderColor to get what you want 
(e.g. color yellow, borderColor lime green).
Play with it a bit more to see how the checkButton is expected to work 
with mouseover & mouseup/click.
