 * Hi, I’m trying to change the background color of dropdown options and on hover
   colors but it’s not just changing. Can you guide me here?
    Here’s what I’m seeing
   right now: [http://kreativecodes.xyz/back.jpg](http://kreativecodes.xyz/back.jpg)
 * I need the background white to be changed to #222222 and the font color to be
   white.
 * I’m using the following code but it’s not taking any effect.
 *     ```
       select{
               background: #222;
               color:#ffffff;
           }
           option:not(:checked) { 
               background-color: #222; 
           }
       ```

 * Hi,
 * Your selectors are too general so it’s not taking priority 🙂
    Try adding the
   classes that exists on the dropdowns as well.
 * Also, if you’re using select2 enhanced dropdowns you need to target those instead.

 * I tried styling select2 dropdown but it still won’t change, maybe I was not targeting
   correct classes. I’ve disabled select2 dropdown and displaying normal select 
   box now. It’s working good for me 🙂
 * Thanks for the reply and this awesome plugin!!!
