NOTE: This code is from user que dal's optimization If you wish to have a string that isn't just the name of the color, change DropDownItem to have 2 arguments, the string and the color, then just change how the brush sets the color, as such:

    public DropDownItem(string val, Color color)
    {
        Value = val;
        Image = new Bitmap(16, 16);
        using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(Image))
        {
            using (Brush b = new SolidBrush(color))
            {
                g.DrawRectangle(Pens.White, 0, 0, Image.Width, Image.Height);
                g.FillRectangle(b, 1, 1, Image.Width - 1, Image.Height - 1);
            }
        }
    }

You must then change the dropdown item as such:

    public DropDownItem()
        : this("", Color.Empty)
    {}

Hope this was helpful :)
