MediaWiki UI already has the current grays defined. According to current spec colour gray 12 (#ccc) is used for disabled text.
@colorGray1: #111; // darkest @colorGray2: #222; @colorGray3: #333; @colorGray4: #444; @colorGray5: #555; @colorGray6: #666; @colorGray7: #777; @colorGray8: #888; @colorGray9: #999; @colorGray10: #AAA; @colorGray11: #BBB; @colorGray12: #CCC; @colorGray13: #DDD; @colorGray14: #EEE; @colorGray15: #F9F9F9; // lightest
@colorDisabledText: @colorGray12;

The label being grayed out is important. The outline being closer to white also helps a lot, but as you said, when it's alone the outline change is not enough. I think the gray fill is still a little dark, maybe use #f5f5f5 if you can swing it, but B is getting close.

I made a few of variations to compare. I think B works the best because it doesn't look like you can do anything about it. I greyed the text out, just like what happens to disabled buttons http://tools.wmflabs.org/styleguide/desktop/section-2.html.
If A and C stood alone without the standard checkbox, they may not be as clear that they're disabled. Is there a reason we're using lightgrey instead of actual value?

This is what it looks like when the checkbox uses #ddd instead of " lightgrey" and the surrounding .mw-ui-checkbox div is 50% transparent.

Maybe it's just me, but the new disabled checkbox doesn't look disabled to me: https://tools.wmflabs.org/styleguide/desktop/section-5.html
The normal convention for making a form element disabled is to make it faded out (<100% opacity), not giving it a gray fill.
I have no idea where this design came from or who is responsible for it, but I was wondering if the design team could revisit it.
Thanks! Ryan Kaldari
