Probably not what you had in mind, but you can already style individual options in a dropdown using the stylesheet:  
Either using `nth-of-type` or `nth-child` to target the option based on its index,  
or using its `data-label` property to target it depending on its label.

There's also probably a way to style the modal this way.

Now, it's not as simple as built-in properties, but it would allow you to do it _right now_.
