Changing color on a single specific dropdown selection

Question

Hello,

I am new to this and working on trying to change the color and font of only ONE specific dropdown selection out of many multiple within that dropdown list. Is there a way of doing this without having to select each and every selection item I have in the code?

I have set the primary color of the dropdown selections to RED, but if the user selects NONE SELECTED, I want this to show as a Bold Black color style.

Is this possible?

Select "Commit selected value immediately" in the options tab of the field properties, then enter the following custom keystroke script:

if(!event.willCommit)
{
if(event.changeEx=="NONE SELECTED")
{
event.target.textFont="Helvetica-Bold";
event.target.textColor=color.black;
}
else
{
event.target.textFont="Helvetica";
event.target.textColor=color.red;
}
}
