Change text color of QCheckBox in pyqt

I want to change the color of the text next to a QCheckBox. I have tried these 2 questions:

how to change QCheckBox text label color in Qt?

Changing QCheckBox text color

None of those solutions seem to be working for me.

p = QtGui.QPalette(self.chkbox[i].palette())
p.setColor(QPalette.Active,QPalette.WindowText, QtCore.Qt.red)
self.top_grid.addWidget(self.chkbox[i],i+2,0)

Edit 1: Here is the minimal working code:

from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
import sys

def main():
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    w = QtGui.QWidget()
    top_grid = QtGui.QGridLayout()
    chkbox=[]
    chkbox.append(QtGui.QCheckBox('1'))
    chkbox[0].setStyleSheet("color: red")
    chkbox[0].setToolTip('<b>ABC</b>' )
    top_grid.addWidget(chkbox[0],0,0)
    w.setLayout(top_grid)    
    w.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

When I do this, the color of the ToolTip changes to red, but the text next to the checkbox remains black.

Edit 2: If I add the line

app.setStyle('cleanlooks')

It works. The default style is sgi, where, for some reason, the text color doesn't change. It worked with all the other styles.

You could do this by using style sheet:

for chbox in self.chkbox:
    chbox.setStyleSheet("color: red")
