I assume it's a select.

You'll need to change its attributes through CSS.

What seamus said. You can set the style properties for each option or for the whole select box:

<select size="3">
	<option value="1" style="background-color: green; color: white">option 1</option>
	<option value="2" style="background-color: red; color: white">option 2</option>
	<option value="3" style="background-color: yellow; color: blue">option 3</option>
</select>
<p>
<select style="background-color: green; color: white">
	<option value="1">option 1</option>
	<option value="2">option 2</option>
	<option value="3">option 3</option>
</select>

This will look like the attached image.

Yeah you can style it with CSS, but be warned that each browser will render it slightly differently, and some browsers even ignore it, like Safari on Mac OS... all the buttons look like Apple buttons...
