Ron,
Sure you can, at least in IE 4+ and Netscape 6 (not in Opera, however).
Assign classes to your option elements, and then set the colors in a style
sheet (also, it's wise to set the background-color property whenever you set
the color property), e.g.:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.americas {
color: #0000ff ;
background-color: #ffffff ;
}
.asia {
color: #009900 ;
background-color: #ffffff ;
}
.europe {
color: #ff0000 ;
background-color: #ffffff ;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<select>
<option class="americas">United States</option>
<option class="americas">Mexico</option>
<option class="americas">Canada</option>
<option class="asia">China</option>
<option class="asia">Japan</option>
<option class="europe">United Kingdom</option>
<option class="europe">Germany</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
