I have a dropdown that sits on top of an image that is very dark. In order to see the selected choice, I changed the font to white. However, now the inside of the drop down box which is normally white, also uses white for the font color of the choices in the dropdown. Consequently, the box looks empty until you scroll down which causes the font color to change to black for the item your cursor is currently sitting over. Is there any way to change the background fill color INSIDE the dropdown box to the same or similar color of the image that is sitting behind it?

That changes the entire box white (since I chose white as the solid box. The problem still is the values inside the box also turn white. What I want to do is have the chosen value be white once selected. But whether I use a custom underscore of white, background fill of white, that apparently also changes the color of the values in the dropdown to white against a white dropdown box so you can't see the values at all. How do I control the color of the values inside the dropdown, the background of the dropdown (once opened when you want to select a value from it) and the color of the resulting choice?
Leaving the box and the color of the choices in the box as the standard (black font for choices, white box) is fine. I just then need the chosen value to be white. Alternatively, I need to be able to change the font of the choices to white and the box to something dark to match the background it sits in front of, then leave the chosen value white.

You can not.

That seems rather limiting. I've now had to change everything back to black (and you can't seem to restore the original formatting, you have to recreate the object which is a problem in and of itself) then add text (with nothing but a white underscore on it) to layer over top of the drop down. I hope that will be changed in the future?
