Is a Croton a bad choice for a plant that is almost
acre free when it comes to indoor plants?

I have on low light in my apartment.

Crotons a bad choice for that?

They are colorful...and that's why Im interested in
them

Crotons like it warm and humid with bright light. Most people like to
keep their house cooler and drier (especially if aircondtioned) than
will make a croton happy. If they are not happy they will grow poorly,
drop leaves and not look their best, or in extreme cases just die.

For example, in Sydney in a beachside suburb, in a north facing sunroom
which is warm and bright, they are OK in summer but go backwards in
winter because the humidity is too low. In Brisbane botanical gardens
by the river (pleasant in winter, sweatbath in summer) they grow very
well.

If the temperature and humidity are OK they still need good light to
develop their best colour and grow strongly.

BTW what do you mean by "acre free"?
