Does not send selected option from pull down menu

Hi

I have been having issues with trying to send a selected option form a pull down menu of a form

Here is the code I have:

Your name [text* your-name autocomplete:name]

Your email [email* your-email autocomplete:email]

[select* menu-996 include_blank “RED” “WHITE” “BLUE” “GREEN” “ORANGE” “YELLOW”]

[submit “Submit”]

Everything shows up in the email except the selected color. Is there a syntax error? What is weird is text area is sent as empty even though I tend to delete it in the presets. I have wasted over an hour trying to figure what is wrong with it but could not. Can you please help? Thanks
