I want to show color for selected option in Firefox.
Surprisingly, IE get this right. But in Firefox is failing to display color in selected option.

Here is the code:

<html>
<body>
<Select>
<option value="1" select="selected" style="color:red"> RED </option>
<option value="2" style="color:green">GREEN</option>
<option value="3" style="color:black" >Black</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>

Could anyone suggest how to proceed further?

well your example show color and not background color.

To set the color of the select, you need to use some JavaScript.
