Answer 1

I know this question is old, but there are some new developments in the world of CSS!

color property on select will now set color of option(s) text (including selected), while adding / over-riding color to select option.

CSS:

select {
  color: white; /* color of selected option */
 }

select option {
  color: black; /* color of other options */
}
