OPs requirement is to have more than 1 colour of text in a single
option. Your solution applies a single colour to the whole of the option.
I would have thought span would work, but it seems it doesn't from the
OPs post, and my own testing confirms that span is not permitted within
option according to the validator, which means applying different styles
to parts of the option text is, at best, problematical
