JComboBox two-color text

In Swingthere a way to have two colors for option one? I mean, if I have option, say, Show only cities [Alt+C]in JComboBox, I want text Show only citiesin one color and [Alt+C](hotkey) a different color. Similarly, I have JListone that contains a list of string elements. I want to distinguish one from another by color.

Shortly speaking,

  • How to create a two-color option JComboBox.
