You can't include html in profile field options, the special characters get escaped and you get something like you see above. Why don't you just make the choices the color names then in postbit use something like:

<span class="ghosthax-{vb:raw post.field21}">Status:</span> {vb:raw post.onlinestatus}</div>

(of course you could also do this:

<span class="ghosthax" style="color:{vb:raw post.field21}">Status:</span> {vb:raw post.onlinestatus}</div>

then you wouldn't need the separate color classes).
