Solution

  • Here is how to do it for a JCheckBox

    UIManager.put("CheckBox.focus",Color.RED);
    

    There is a nice tool here: http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/uimanager-defaults/ that if you run the Java Web Start program it will allow you to browse the keys and values for each component.
