custom select show selected value after page refresh

I am trying to build my custom select but I am stucked. Everything works fine until page refresh. I am a jQuery begginer and I found this on codepen.

$('select').each(function(){
    var $this = $(this), numberOfOptions = $(this).children('option').length;

    $this.addClass('select-hidden');
    $this.wrap('<div class="select"></div>');
    $this.after('<div class="select-styled"></div>');

    var $styledSelect = $this.next('div.select-styled');
    $styledSelect.text($this.children('option').eq(0).text());

    var $list = $('<ul />', {
        'class': 'select-options'
    }).insertAfter($styledSelect);

    for (var i = 0; i < numberOfOptions; i++) {
        $('<li />', {
            text: $this.children('option').eq(i).text(),
            rel: $this.children('option').eq(i).val()
        }).appendTo($list);
    }

    var $listItems = $list.children('li');

    $styledSelect.click(function(e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
        $('div.select-styled.active').not(this).each(function(){
            $(this).removeClass('active').next('ul.select-options').hide();
        });
        $(this).toggleClass('active').next('ul.select-options').toggle();
    });

    $listItems.click(function(e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
        $styledSelect.text($(this).text()).removeClass('active');
        $this.val($(this).attr('rel'));
        $list.hide();
        //console.log($this.val());
    });

    $(document).click(function() {
        $styledSelect.removeClass('active');
        $list.hide();
    });
});
.select-hidden {
	 display: none;
	 visibility: hidden;
	 padding-right: 10px;
}
 .select {
	 cursor: pointer;
	 display: inline-block;
	 position: relative;
	 font-size: 12px;
	 color: #005ca5;
	 height: 40px;
	 width: 155px;
}
 .select-styled {
	 position: absolute;
	 top: 0;
	 right: 0;
	 bottom: 0;
	 left: 0;
	 border: 1px solid #a2a2a2;
	 padding: 10px 15px;
	 border-radius: 20px;
}
 .select-styled:after {
	 content: "";
	 width: 0;
	 height: 0;
	 border: 7px solid transparent;
	 border-color: #005ca5 transparent transparent transparent;
	 position: absolute;
	 top: 16px;
	 right: 10px;
}
 .select-styled.active {
	 border-bottom-left-radius: 0px;
	 border-bottom-right-radius: 0px;
}
 .select-styled.active:after {
	 top: 9px;
	 border-color: transparent transparent #005ca5 transparent;
}
 .select-options {
	 display: none;
	 position: absolute;
	 top: 100%;
	 right: 0;
	 left: 0;
	 z-index: 999;
	 margin: 0;
	 padding: 0;
	 list-style: none;
	 background-color: #fff;
	 overflow-y: scroll;
	 max-height: 200px;
	 border: 1px solid #a2a2a2;
	 border-top: 0px;
}
 .select-options li {
	 margin: 0;
	 padding: 12px 0;
	 text-indent: 15px;
	 transition: 0.3s;
}
 .select-options li:hover {
	 color: #fff;
	 background: #005ca5;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select name="color" id="frm-statusForm-form-color" class="select-hidden">
<option value="#E19244">Orange</option>
<option value="#666666">Grey</option>
<option value="#886666" selected="">Brown</option>
<option value="#2FB483">Green</option>
<option value="#005CA5">Blue</option>
<option value="#71DFFC">Light blue</option></select>

I am working with php, when I select a value, it saves the selected value. In source code u can see in default select selected value, but not in my custom select. Select is automatically generated so I can't change HTML. So the only way is to change jQuery...

You can use localeStorage API for such implementation, localeStorage have .setItem() and .getItem() methods where you can set values to be used across your app even after a refresh,

changes: 

var styledText = $this.children('option').eq(0).text();
if(localStorage.getItem($this.attr('name'))) {
  styledText = localStorage.getItem($this.attr('name'));
}
$styledSelect.text(styledText);

and in $listItems.click:

$listItems.click(function(e) {
  e.stopPropagation();
  $styledSelect.text($(this).text()).removeClass('active');
  $this.val($(this).attr('rel'));
  $list.hide();
  localStorage.setItem($this.attr('name'), $(this).text());
});

here is a working jsfildde, also a snippet, but it will not work here since stackoverflow snippets are sandboxed and can't access localStorage:

$('select').each(function(){
    var $this = $(this), numberOfOptions = $(this).children('option').length;

    $this.addClass('select-hidden');
    $this.wrap('<div class="select"></div>');
    $this.after('<div class="select-styled"></div>');

    var $styledSelect = $this.next('div.select-styled');
    
    var styledText = $this.children('option').eq(0).text();
    if(localStorage.getItem($this.attr('name'))) {
      styledText = localStorage.getItem($this.attr('name'));
    }
    $styledSelect.text(styledText);

    var $list = $('<ul />', {
        'class': 'select-options'
    }).insertAfter($styledSelect);

    for (var i = 0; i < numberOfOptions; i++) {
        $('<li />', {
            text: $this.children('option').eq(i).text(),
            rel: $this.children('option').eq(i).val()
        }).appendTo($list);
    }

    var $listItems = $list.children('li');

    $styledSelect.click(function(e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
        $('div.select-styled.active').not(this).each(function(){
            $(this).removeClass('active').next('ul.select-options').hide();
        });
        $(this).toggleClass('active').next('ul.select-options').toggle();
    });

    $listItems.click(function(e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
        $styledSelect.text($(this).text()).removeClass('active');
        $this.val($(this).attr('rel'));
        $list.hide();
        localStorage.setItem($this.attr('name'), $(this).text());
    });

    $(document).click(function() {
        $styledSelect.removeClass('active');
        $list.hide();
