Can I Style Parts of Text Within HTML Select Options?

Styling Text within Option Elements

Question:

Despite attempts to utilize HTML's tag for styling, styling specific portions of option text within a select element proves to be unsuccessful. Is there an alternative approach to achieve this?

Answer:

Unfortunately, no. Select options are styled natively by the platform, making it impossible to selectively style portions of their text. This limitation is enforced to maintain consistency and usability across different browsers and operating systems. While it may seem desirable to emphasize or highlight parts of option text, this typically does not align with the user experience principles for selecting options from a dropdown list.
