    Drop Down List Color Selector - NOT Conditional Formatting

    Is it possible to have a drop down menu show colors within the drop down menu itself? I don't want to be able to select "Red" and after selecting that value, the cell turns red. I want the ability to see the color red in the drop down menu. Is this possible?

    Certainly not with standard data validation. Would you like me to move this to the VBA forum?

    That'd be great! Hopefully I'm smart enough to use it. I'm self-taught with excel, and not very well, haha. Thanks for the help.
