Which type of check box do you mean?
- Form check boxes (from the Developer tab)
- ActiveX check boxes (from the Developer tab)
- In-cell heck boxes (currently only available in beta to Microsoft 365 Insiders)

Thanks. You can link such a check box to a cell. and then use Conditional Formatting on that cell.
Right-click the check box and select Format Control from the context menu:
The value of the linked cell will be TRUE/FALSE depending on whether the check box is ticked.
