Why do you think that just reading the documentation is not enough?

All you need to know is CSS. Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascading_Style_Sheets[^],
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Overview.en.html[^],
http://www.w3schools.com/css/[^].

In particular, see also:

Since all Aspx controls rendered as html controls you can write css as below..
css below..

CSS

<style type="text/css">
        select
        {
            color:#FFFFFF;
            margin:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;
            padding:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;
            width:200px;
        }

        select option
        {
            background:#000;
        }
       
    </style>

Html below..

ASP.NET

<asp:dropdownlist id="ddlTest" runat="server" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
    <asp:listitem value="Item 1">Item 1</asp:listitem>
    <asp:listitem value="Item 2">Item 2</asp:listitem>
 </asp:dropdownlist>
