Yes, you will need to set the selected option manually.
Try something like this:

<form name="bgcolor" action="http: // www . example . com/ks123/?p=85"
method="post">
<select name=color onChange="bgcolor.submit()">
<option value=white
<?=($_POST['color']=='white'?'selected':'')?>>white</option>
<option value=yellow
<?=($_POST['color']=='yellow'?'selected':'')?>>yellow</option>
</select>
</form>
