'individual background colour of options in <select> based on map

I would like to set an individual background colour of each option of a <select> with Javascript. The option text and colour (hex) are stored in a Map:

JSFiddle

const map = new Map();
map.set("005", "#886da8");
map.set("0075", "#ffc3cf");

for (const [key, value] of map.entries()) {
  console.log(key, value);
  $('#cmbExample').append($('<option>', { 
        value: key,
        text : key 
    }));
}

Finally it should look like this:

You just have to set the style attribute with a background property using the value.
Templating literals is helpful here.

const map = new Map();
map.set("005", "#886da8");
map.set("0075", "#ffc3cf");
map.set("01", "#ef9b00");
map.set("015", "#2bb430");
map.set("02", "#f7dc01");
map.set("025", "#bc65a2");
map.set("03", "#487ebf");
map.set("04", "#e00124");
map.set("05", "#b36634");
map.set("06", "#949494");
map.set("08", "#ffffff");
map.set("10", "#000000");
map.set("12", "#4bbbd0");
map.set("16", "#8b6d9f");
map.set("20", "#8ccff4");

for (const [key, value] of map.entries()) {
  // console.log(key, value);
  $('#cmbExample').append($('<option>', {
    value: key,
    text: key,
    style: `background: ${value}` // Set the style like this
  }));
}


// Select element
let coulouredSelect = document.querySelector("#cmbExample")

// change event callback
setSelectColor = function(){
  let value = coulouredSelect.value
  coulouredSelect.style.backgroundColor = coulouredSelect.querySelector(`option[value='${value}']`).style.background
}

// change event listener
coulouredSelect.addEventListener("change", setSelectColor)

// on page load
setSelectColor()
