How to change the color of an option select?

Question

css

When publishing select, the first option has the value "----" (generated automatically) I
changed the value with this script, but it differs in shade from the input placeholder above.

$('#sf1442558131n option:contains("----")').text('Район');

Tried with a script

$('#sf1442558131n option:contains("Район")').css('color', '#ccc');

but it only changes the color of the option when the list is dropped.
How to change the color of the default select value?

Answer 1

Everything should work, see if any other style overlaps.

Answer 2

False in both cases. We need to change the color of the text only for "Region", that is, to create the illusion of a placeholder.
The remaining options do not change color.

It's all right?

Answer 3

Неверно в обоих случаях. Нужно изменить цвет текста только для "Район", то есть создать иллюзию placeholder.
Остальные option цвет не меняют.
