Your code loads the combo box just fine. To eliminate the "ComboBox1" text,
either set the SelectedIndex of your combo box to a valid index (e.g. 0 or 1
with your example), which will select one of the values by default, or set
the Text property to an empty string, e.g.
Me.ComboBox1.Items.AddRange(New Object() {"red", "blue"})
Me.ComboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0
or
Me.ComboBox1.Items.AddRange(New Object() {"red", "blue"})
Me.ComboBox1.Text = ""
You can find an example of binding a combobox to a database here:
