There are 18 colors and a selection for "none" that I want in a drop down menu. The menu is made already, but I have no clue how to set it up.

Can anyone show me a simple drop down menu in an example? The value (0-19) returned is going to hopefully associate with an array with the 18 color names (although I'm not sure how to do that either).

Thanks
