AngularJs and <select>: Default selected options are removed

Question

I expect the following code to render a drop down list with the third option selected by default. However, when I bind the select with angularjs, the default selection disappear

Answer 1

By adding option with empty value to select and initializing selectedColors to empty string(ng-init="selectedColors=''"), we can see 'select Color' option on top instead of having first color to be selected defaultly:

    Select Color
    Red
    Blue
    Green

Selected Colors: {{selectedColors }}
