Hi  
I’m using  
`<ion-select>` component and I would like to change the icon color but I’m not able to do this. How is it possible to customize it?

This is my code

```auto
 <ion-row >
      <ion-label text-right>Scegli punti di interesse</ion-label>
        <ion-select [(ngModel)] = "sort" (ionChange)="changeImageMap()">
          <ion-option value="1">Blu e nero</ion-option>
          <ion-option value="2">Rosso</ion-option>
          <ion-option value="3">Blu</ion-option>
        </ion-select>
    </ion-row>

```

And this is the result.

I would like to change the icon’s color like that for example:

 ![Senza%20titolo%2012](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/ionicframework/original/3X/d/5/d55c4f0259843c5106f5ce7f6408b15655a1b5bc.png)

Is it possible?  
I’ve tried to change the css of the component but nothing worked.

Thank you.

This question just for Ionic 3.

In Ionic v4/v5 you can use  
`ion-select::part(icon) { color: red !important; }`
