 * Running the wonderful theme on three sites – two live, one in production. On 
   all three drop-down menus in the sidebar are white letters on white background,
   and thus show blank.
 * Can you give me the CSS to change colours?
 * Thanks,
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdropdown-colour-problem%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@phbyerly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phbyerly/),
 * I’m not seeing any drop down menus on the site you referenced. If you could provide
   me a link to the site or page where the drop down menus occur, I can help provide
   the CSS to change colors.
 * Thanks!

 * Right column, very bottom, the ARCHIVES widget on [https://www.the-generous-wife.com/](https://www.the-generous-wife.com/)
 * Also see the dropdowns for Archives, Categories, and Tags on [https://www.staging3.the-generous-husband.com/](https://www.staging3.the-generous-husband.com/)–
   right column almost to the bottom.

 * Hi [@phbyerly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phbyerly/),
 * I apologize for the delay. We don’t check the forums for our free themes on a
   daily basis, but try to support them the best we can. Your last response slipped
   through the cracks.
 * What browser are you using?
 * I’ve tested the dropdown select fields for the sidebar widgets on your sites 
   in multiple browsers including Chrome, Firefox and Safari on my MacBook Pro. 
   The dropdown fields appear correctly as seen in this screenshot: [https://cloudup.com/ctn-MRV1tA4](https://cloudup.com/ctn-MRV1tA4)
 * You could try adding the following style to account for older browsers:
 *     ```
       select {
         color: #000000;
       }
       ```
   
 * I hope this helps. Thanks!

 * David,
 * Thanks for the code, that did it.
 * For the record, it looks like some major browsers are not working outside of 
   the Mac environment.
 * On Window 10 Edge works but current Chrome and current Opera do not.
    On Ubuntu
   16.04 the new Firefox is good, but the current Chrome does not work.
 * If you move over the opened dropdown the hover colour works, but otherwise, it
   looks like this screenshot: [https://pasteboard.co/GVdw6Py.png](https://pasteboard.co/GVdw6Py.png)
