</div>

in edit text node there is a simple way to change color to a specific edit text box using following syntax for example in label field

```auto
<font color= white > Identifiant </font>

```

or following syntaxe for value format field

```auto
<font color= white > {{msg.payload}} </font> 

```

for dropdown ui we area ble to do the same thing with label but i don't find the way to format value  
it strange to mr so perhaps i miss something somewhere . Is there a solution for this ? why in dropdown Ui we don't have format value field ?

Use CSS in a UI-Template node.  
For example

```auto
md-option .md-text, md-select-value .md-text { 
color: green;
}

```
