Add arrows to dropdown menu CF7 - css

Question

I'm using Contact Form 7 on a website of a client, and I styled the dropdown menu to this:
.wpcf7-form select {
-webkit-appearance: textfield;
color: #72858a;
font-size: 0.7777777778rem;
background-color: #e9edf0;
border-color: #e9edf0;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
}
Unfortunately the arrows are missing now. Is there anyway to add an down arrow at the right side of the dropdown menu in the same color as the text? I tried different css classes found on this website, but nothing seems to work.
Image of how it displays now:
And how it should be:
The arrow could also be another arrow.
Any help would be appreciated much!

Here's an option for you... now... I used the span.wpcf7-form-control-wrap that was specifically around the select I was styling. You could also (instead) wrap the selects in a custom div.
This produced this result for me
I also made the triangle using clip-path, so you can change the colors or anything else.
/* Using the menu-813 which for me was the span around the select.*/
span.wpcf7-form-control-wrap.menu-813 {
position: relative;
height: 60px;
background: #e9edf0;
display: inline-block;
}
span.wpcf7-form-control-wrap.menu-813:after {
content: '';
position:absolute;
width: 15px;
height: 15px;
background: #000;
right:8px;
top: 20px;
z-index: 0;
clip-path: polygon(100% 0, 0 0, 50% 100%);
}
.wpcf7-form select {
-webkit-appearance: none;
appearance: none;
color: #72858a;
font-size: 0.7777777778rem;
background-color: transparent;
border-color: #e9edf0;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
width: 300px;
z-index: 1;
position: relative;
padding-left: 2ch;
}
