You're more than welcome!
The best way I've found to make it less visible is to color the background in the same color.
Would that help?

Hello. Somehow, however I don't know what I did, I was able to remove the gray background on my dropdown items in one of my Smartsheets, so there has to be a way.
As you can see, my dropdown included In Office, Work from Home, Travel, and PTO all having a different color. However, the gray background does NOT show up.
A question I have and hopefully one of you can answer regarding dropdown menus is...in the dropdown column I have chosen the option of multiple names, but as you have stated that we cannot remove the gray background. I am wanting to put a conditional format together that when one or more names are chosen under the column I want only that cell to change color to gray. When there is nothing in the cell, I want the cell color to stay soft yellow. Everything I have tried in the conditional formatting is NOT working...HELP?!?

The grey background behind text appears if you are using a multi-select dropdown list, as it shows the separation between dropdown options. However if you change the column type to be single-select, then the cell text and background colour will be the default colour.
Can you post a screen capture of how you have the conditional formatting rule set up? It sounds like there may be a conflicting rule or a criteria we're missing to get the background colour how you'd like.
