Is it possible to change the color of the dropdown in 8.0? I have under the style property `backgroundColor: #555555` and it is still showing up white.

As for the `dropdownOptionStyle` i have the same` backgroundColor` and when selecting a value the options have that color circle around them.

It doesn’t look right if the background of the dropdown is white and the options can have a different color.

Can the color of the entire dropdown be changed?

Hi @jramirez3,

I does not look like this is currently possible.

We’re already tracking this issue internally. I’ve linked the ticket above and will let you know when its been fixed.

Thanks!
