You have tagged this C#, HTML5, and SQL-Server: so which one do you mean, and what coding are you trying to use?

What have you tried so far? How do you want to color your drop down? Alternating colors? Is there any business logic that defines the colors of items in the drop down? Can you share the HTML/JS code you have?

Can you see how little information you have provided here?

I have a table that holds the names of colors in the database , but would like to be presented at the Dropdown was the kind of color and not the color name .

You start by defining your list and what language you are using to display it. As I asked earlier, is this C#, HTML ... what? Please edit your question and add some proper detail about what you are trying to do.
