[Tex/LaTex] Coloring the diagonal of a matrix

Question

I try to color the diagonal of a matrix.

\begin{equation}
    C=
    \begin{bmatrix}
    1 & 1 & 0\\
    0 & 1 & 1\\
    1 & 0 & 1\\
    \end{bmatrix}
\end{equation}

All I found was related to rows and columns (see. https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/69714/74926
and
http://www.alecjacobson.com/weblog/?p=1289)
Could someone may help.

I already found this. Sadly the line overlay the text and the brackets.
Some further help would be great.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{tikz}

\newcommand{\tikzmark}[2]{
    \tikz[overlay,remember picture,baseline] 
    \node[anchor=base] (#1) {$#2$};
}

\begin{document}
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
  \tikzmark{top}{1} & \tikzmark{top2}{1} & 0 \\
  0 & 1 & \tikzmark{bottom2}{1} \\
  \tikzmark{end}{1} & 0 & \tikzmark{bottom}{1}\\
\end{pmatrix}
\]

\begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,remember picture]
     \draw[red,line width=1mm,line cap=round] (top.north west) -- (bottom.south east);
     \draw[red,line width=1mm,line cap=round] (top2.north west) -- (bottom2.south east);
     \draw[red,line width=1mm,line cap=round] (end.north west) -- (end.south east);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
