Angular 2 - Setting selected value on dropdown list

Question

I have run into an issue in pre-selecting values on a dropdown list in Angular 2.

I set an array of colours in the component which I bind successfully to the drop

Actually if You use ReactiveForms i found this way much easier to acomplish:

If the form is defined like this:

public formName = new FormGroup({

    fieldName: new FormControl("test") //where "test is field default value"

});

Then thats the way You can change its value:

this.formName.controls.fieldName.setValue("test 2"); //setting field value to "test 2"
