    The only one of the three kinds of check boxes on the Developer ribbon that has a grey background by default is the legacy form field check box.

    You can remove the grey background (leaving a white fill) by clicking the form field shading button:

    After you remove the form field shading, if you don't like the white background you can change it to any color you want by using either the highlight button or the text shading button on the Home ribbon.
