You can you CSS `class` or `style` attributes to specify the `background`
color attribute, like this:
Using classnames:
```
<style>
.red { background:red; }
.green { background:green; }
.blue { background:blue; }
</style>
<$select field="color">
<option class="red">item 1</option>
<option class="green">item 2</option>
<option class="blue">item 3</option>
</$select>
```
Using direct styles and a $list of colors:
```
<$select field="color">
<$list filter="red green blue" variable=thisColor>
<option style={{{ [[background:]] [<thisColor>] [[;]] +[join[]] }}}>
<<thisColor>>
</option>
</$list>
</$select>
```
In fact, I have used this technique myself to create a "select a color"
drop list that shows a list of "X11 Color Names"
```
\define X11Colors()

\end
<$select field="color">
<$list filter="[enlist<X11Colors>]" variable=thisColor>
<option style={{{ [[background:]] [<thisColor>] [[;]] +[join[]] }}}>
<<thisColor>>
</option>
</$list>
</$select>
```
