Combo box selecting answers

I have created a fillable pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro, which has a combo box with multiple answer selection. Each answer has a colour associated with it (eg Yes - red, No - green).

When I've tested it, I can see the colours on the selected answer, however when colleagues have tested this, selected an answer, the colour doesn't show permanently, only if they hover over it.

Any suggestions as to how to keep the coloured cell visible and be able to save it?

var f = event.target;
var fv = event.value;

if (fv == "Yes - Dev IA and RA required") {
f.fillColor = color.red;
}
else if (fv == "No") {
f.fillColor = color.green;
}
else {
f.fillColor = color.transparent;
}
