Default Data Validation

When I create my data validation list I have the cells in colored font. When
I select a cell with the data validation list they default to standard font.
Is there anyway to retain the formatting of the data validation list in the
drop down?

No, you can't format the items in a data validation dropdown list.

Sorry, no. What you see is what you get.
