I am attempting to change the color of only the text "select one option" to grey, but I am having trouble making it work. Here is my code:
.grey_color {
color: #ccc;
font-size: 14px;
}
<select id="select">
<option selected="selected"><span class="grey_color">select one option</span></option>
<option>one</option>
<option>two</option>
<option>three</option>
<option>four</option>
<option >five</option>
</select>
