Can a pivot table function like data filter?

My question is related to the feature that a data filter offers whereby
the
drop down arrow changes color (to royal blue) once an option in the
filter is
selected.

I have a very detailed pivot table. When an option is selected it
is difficult to visually see which option(s) was chosen. I was
wondering if
there is any way to make the drop down arrow in the pivot table
function
similar to that of the drop down arrow in the data filter, i.e., have
the
color of the drop down arrow and/or option selected change color so
that it
stands out on the spreadsheet. This will enable the user to quickly
determine
which option(s) needs to be reset.
 
Just wanted to let everyone know that I found the answer. It is to use
conditional formatting. This will enable the user to view the selected
option (though not the drop-down arrow) in a color/format of my choice.
I hope this answer helps others who are looking for similar solutions!
