c# - How do I change the colour of a WPF Checkbox tick?

Question

I would like to change the colour of the tick in my WPF CheckBox from black to white. I have tried to do this in the CheckBoxdeclaration as such:

<CheckBox Background="black" Foreground="White" BorderBrush="#262626"/>

The background and border successfully change, but not the tick itself.

Maybe there is an easier way, but i achieved this with a custom checkbox style like this:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />
    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FF262E34"/>
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#FF262E34"/>
    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" >
                    <Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Width="15" Height="15">
                        <!--                                   your color here -->
                        <Path Width="15" Height="10"  Stroke="HotPink" StrokeThickness="3" Name="eliCheck" Data="M 2,4 C 2,4 3,5 5,13 C 5,13 5,3 12,0" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
                    </Border>
                    <TextBlock Margin="5,0,0,0"  VerticalAlignment="Center" Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" Text="{TemplateBinding Content}"></TextBlock>
                </StackPanel>
                <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                    <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightGray" />
                    </Trigger>
                    <Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="#FF9C9E9F" />
                    </Trigger>
                    <Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightGray" />
                        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Gray" />
                        <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Gray"/>
                        <Setter TargetName="eliCheck" Property="Opacity" Value="0.5" />
                    </Trigger>
                    <Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
                        <Setter TargetName="eliCheck" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"></Setter>
                    </Trigger>
                </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>
