form, select, colors

Hi. I have a form in a php script where among other fields the visitor picks a color from a select tag.
I can manage the select list with the following code:
<option style={background:red;} value=1>red</option>
<option style={background:yellow;} value=1>yellow</option>
...and so on...
but when I use the select to pick a color the browser highlights my selection using blue color. The problem is that this blue overwrites my color so the visitor can see all the other colors but not the one he is choosing ...
Is there a way to control the highlighting color of the select tag?

Sorry if this has been answered before... i couldn't find an answer...

I believe you're out of luck ... but I've been wrong before.
