How to put background-color only a section of a select? CSS

I have this sample:

CODE HTML:

<div class="select-style">
  <select>
    <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
    <option value="saab">Saab</option>
    <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
    <option value="audi">Audi</option>
  </select>
</div>

CODE CSS:

.select-style {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    width: 120px;
    border-radius: 3px;
    overflow: hidden;
    background-color: #fff;
    background: #fff url("http://www.scottgood.com/jsg/blog.nsf/images/arrowdown.gif") no-repeat 90% 50%;
}

.select-style select {
    padding: 5px 8px;
    width: 130%;
    border: none;
    box-shadow: none;
    background-color: transparent;
    background-image: none;
    -webkit-appearance: none;
       -moz-appearance: none;
            appearance: none;
}

.select-style select:focus {
    outline: none;
}

I put a picture to understand better what I want to do.

How can I do this on my structure?

Does the current structure? Or have another structure created HTML?

Thanks in advance!

Did you want something like this?

.select-style:after {
          content: '';
          background-color: #000;
          position: absolute;
          border-left: 3px solid #F00;
          z-index: 0;
          top: 0;
          right: 0;
          bottom: 0;
          left: 85px;
        }

    .select-style:before {
        content: '';
        background-color: white;
        position: absolute;
        z-index: -20;
        top: 0;
        right: 0;
        bottom: 0;
        left: 0;
    }

Note: You won't be able to change select lists arrow color without adding an extra image that will represent that arrow.
