Assuming you have HTML like this:

<select name="list" id="select_list">
  <option value="1" style="color:blue" SELECTED>Name1</option>
  <option value="2" style="color:green">Name2</option>
  <option value="3" style="color:green">Name3</option>
</select>

The only way I have found to get the colour of an option was to access it directly (from the win32ole object). The following would output the colour of the first option.

puts $ie.select_list(:id, "dropdown").document.options(0).style.color

If you want to get the Watir::Option object that has the matching colour, you can do:

matching_colour = 'green'   # Colour you want

# Iterate through the options to find the first match
select_list_element = ie.select_list(:id, 'dropdown')
matching_option = nil
select_list_element.document.options.each{ |o|
  if o.style.color == matching_colour
    matching_option = select_list_element.option(:text, o.text)
    break
  end
}

# Do something with the option if one was found
if match_option.nil?
  #Nothing matches
else
  #Do something with the option, like select it
  matching_option.select
end
