<html>

<head>
    <style>
        input {
            accent-color: auto;
        }
    </style>
</head>

<head>
    <style>
        input[type=radio] {

        }

        input[type=range] {
            accent-color: rgb(55, 255, 0);
        }

        progress {
            accent-color: red;
        }
    </style>
</head>
