How to style the selected option of the dropdown

I'm able to style the options but not the selected option. I've read that this style is inherited from the brower defaults. Can you please help me style the selected option. https://codepen.io/Abdul-Ahad-the-decoder/pen/abMRxZP

You have to make your own custom select element to style the options dropdown because you're right each browser had its default so it's inconsistent and doesn't go with the rest of the design.

Using divs and JavaScript or checkbox/radio buttons to trigger it to open.

Hopefully soon there will be the <selectmenu> element which (should) make styling a lot easier https://css-tricks.com/the-selectmenu-element/

I want to introduce you to a new, experimental form control called selectmenu, including how much easier it is to style than a traditional element.
