Is it possible to change the colour and size of Unity's default dropdown options?

I’ve been successfully implementing Unity’s default dropdown menu but now I need to change the style of it’s options. I’ve been googling how to do it and all I can find is tutorials on how to make your own dropdown menu from scratch.

Is it not possible to change the style (e.g. size and colour) of Unity’s default dropdown menu options?

Do you mean the Dropdown script (from Unity UI) ?
you can control its color from the inspector, or are you asking something else ?

Yes, the Dropdown script from Unity UI. I know you can edit it’s color and size in the inspector. I am referring to the color and size of it’s options. It’s children. I can make the Dropdown menu blue and 300 miles wide, but when I click on it, it’s children options are tiny and white.

It took seem serious Googling, but eventually I stumbled on this post…

…if you edit the ‘Template’ child GameObject accordingly, new options added with script will all have that style.
