try this:<option value="red" style="background-color:#00FF00">Röd</option><option value="green" style="background-color:#FF0000">Grön</option><option value="yellow" style="background-color:#FFFF00">Gul</option>OR<option value="red" style="color:#00FF00">Röd</option><option value="green" style="color:#FF0000">Grön</option><option value="yellow" style="color:#FFFF00">Gul</option>and make sure you close your <option> tag after each item.
