Select Option Styling

Does anyone know how to style an Option in a Select / Drop Down? I have the attached photo going on, but I'd like the "+6", "+5" and "+1" to be different colors. I already have that showing only if certain criteria are met via a formula. You can see that the different parts of the text are broken out into different h4's for this purpose, but for whatever reason changing the style on the h4's don't affect those parts at all. Changing the "option" styling does change things, but I don't want the whole thing changed, just the last bit.

Thanks!

All browsers have their own way of styling select items and if you use the base select element, it'll look different depending on the browser you use
You can style the select element itself with CSS but the option items are mostly styled by the browser
So short answer is no, can't be done unless you create your own

Creating your own select element means also having to add all the aria attributes for accessibility and keyboard navigation, etc

yes some things are going really fast in the browser's world. Another 10 for scroll bar styling needed… 😉🤣

@Fisher , you can use the Shoelace package. There is a select component that you can style however you want.
