I am still learning and could use some help.

I have a drop down that indicates if an item is Average, Below Average or Above Average. I would like the display text (color) of the drop down to be red if the user selects Below Average. I am using a sharepoint list and have already set my list to display these items in red, but I would also like to have those fields be red when someone edits/enters the powerapp form.

Could you give more detail on what dropdown1 would refer to?

Ex. - Would it be DataCardValue20 or my item name - choices([@mylistname].Rating)

I've tried the above with no success

Yes, it would be whatever the dropdown name on your datacard is, not the datacard itself. Set the color property on that.

It's okay.
The names of your controls on the tree view on the left:

Screenshot attached - should I assume that the name would be DataCardValue20? That was my initial assumption but is does not work.

Can you take a screenshot of the dropdown on your app and what you want it to be?
Sorry, rereading your question I think I get what you want now. You want something like this?
If which case, set the HoverFill to White and use the formula on the HoverColor property.

@KCM，
Where is the drop down? inside the form or outside the form?
Do you mean you want the display text of dropdown to be red when the selected item is Below Average or the form is in edit mode?
If so, you need to modify the Color property as below:

If(DataCardValue20.Selected.Value="Below Average" Or FormName.Mode=FormMode.Edit Or FormName.Mode=FormMode.New,Red,Black)

@KCM

The steps that the user's are describing is as follows.

In the form select the data card on which you want to implement the functionality.
In the below image I wanted to implement the functionality on the drop down DROPPING I have selected the same.

Drop down selection

Once you select this on the right hand side, you will see the name dropdown you have selected with options properties, advanced.

advanced

On the advanced tab, if you scroll down a little you will see the design part for the drop down and in that look for option Color

color

Here you can specify the condition shared by @v-siky-msft and you will be able to see the options in different colors based on the condition.

Let me explain better.

When someone selects Below Average as a choice on the dropdown I want the words Below Average to display in red on the form (in view, edit and new).

I get an error message when I edit the color formula and the errors seem to have issue with the name of the field I am referencing (datacardvalue20). This is the field.

This is the form and words I want to appear in red when Below Average is chosen.

If I edit the Color I get an error that says DataCardValue20=This data type is unsupported for evaluation.
