[SelectField] selected item color is pink while styles are set to other color

[liesislukas]

Problem description

selected item has pink color even if it has extra styles setting color.

when collapsed coloring is correct:

Steps to reproduce

 <SelectField
              labelStyle={{color: orange500}}
              ...
            >
              <MenuItem value={1} key={1} primaryText={'low'} style={{color: green500}}/>
              <MenuItem value={2} key={2} primaryText={'medium'} style={{color: orange500}}/>
              <MenuItem value={3} key={3} primaryText={'high'} style={{color: red500}}/>
            </SelectField>

I had the same problem and to fix it I simply modified the muiTheme

import MuiThemeProvider from 'material-ui/styles/MuiThemeProvider';
const muiTheme = getMuiTheme({
    palette: {
        accent1Color: 'rgb(0, 84, 129)',
        secondary2color: "rgb(0, 84, 129)"
    },
});

render(){
       return (
             <MuiThemeProvider muiTheme={muiTheme}>
                   ................
            </MuiThemeProvider>
       )
}

Will it make a lot of side effects on other elements too? Is it possible to wrap single element with MuiThemeProvider to have diff theme then all other elements on app?

You wrap it on a single Component if you don't want it to mess with your whole application.

@liesislukas This is done so that the selected option is known. I don't think the selected item should retain it's color

[liesislukas]

@aahan96 there should be an option for that or workaround documented what @davidebarros mentioned here
