XML

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
option.red {background-color:red}
option.blue {background-color:blue}
option.white {background-color:white}
</style>
</head>

<select>
<option value="item 1" class="red">Item 1</option>
<option value="item 2" class="blue">Item 2</option>
<option value="item 3" class="white">Item 3</option>
</select>
</html>

or

You'll need some JavaScript for it to work in other browsers:

HTML

<select onchange="this.style.backgroundColor=this.options[this.selectedIndex].style.backgroundColor"> 
    <option style="background-color:yellow">Item 1</option> 
    <option style="background-color:lightyellow">Item 2</option> 
</select>

Even nicer with css class names:
