    Use the CSS nth-child pseudo-class:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>HTML Dropdown list item baground colors</title>
        <style type="text/css">
            #myForm select option:nth-child(odd) {
                color:black;
                background:yellow;
            }
            #myForm select option:nth-child(even) {
                color:white;
                background:blue;
            }
            #myForm select {
                background:green;
                color:orange;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form id="myForm" action="#" method="get">
            <select>
                <option>A</option>
                <option>B</option>
                <option>C</option>
                <option>D</option>
                <option>E</option>
                <option>F</option>
            </select>
        </div>
    </body>
    </html>
