Custom Radio Button is a modified version of a standard radio button in HTML and CSS that allows developers to customize the appearance of the radio button to better suit their website or application design.

This can include changing the shape, size, color and visual effects of the radio button, while still retaining the core functionality of allowing users to select a single option from a group of choices.

-> Set higher z-index value to the span element and align it on the top of the default radio button.

-> Change the color of the custom button and text when the button is clicked.
