You should use CSS to format the control. Here's an example, tested in IE 5.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<SELECT id="Select1" size="1" name="Select1" style="background: blue;
color: red; width:150px">
<OPTION selected>
Item 1</OPTION>
<OPTION>
Item 2</OPTION>
<OPTION style="color:black">
Item 3</OPTION>
</SELECT>
</body>
</html>
