Dropdown menu: how to make colour change across multiple scenes

Hi everyone, I am making a settings scene in my game where the user can set the background colour. I have a working code by using different coloured panels but it only applies the colour change in that scene and I want it for all the scenes.

I have tried using DontDestoryOnLoad but that did not work so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas??

Thanks!!

 public GameObject WhitePanel;
 public GameObject RedPanel;
 public GameObject OrangePanel;
 public GameObject YellowPanel;
 public GameObject GreenPanel;
 public GameObject BluePanel;
 public GameObject PurplePanel;
 public GameObject PinkPanel;
 public GameObject GreyPanel;

 private void Start()
 {
     PopulateList();

     WhitePanel.gameObject.SetActive(true);
     RedPanel.gameObject.SetActive(false);
     OrangePanel.gameObject.SetActive(false);
     YellowPanel.gameObject.SetActive(false);
     GreenPanel.gameObject.SetActive(false);
     BluePanel.gameObject.SetActive(false);
     PurplePanel.gameObject.SetActive(false);
     PinkPanel.gameObject.SetActive(false);
     GreyPanel.gameObject.SetActive(false);

 }

 void PopulateList()
 {
     List<string> colours = new List<string> { "Background Colour:", "White", "Red", "Orange", "Yellow", "Green", "Blue", "Purple", "Pink", "Grey" };
     dropdown.AddOptions(colours);
 }

 private void Awake()
 {
     //DontDestroyOnLoad(this.WhitePanel);
     //DontDestroyOnLoad(this.RedPanel);
     //DontDestroyOnLoad(this.OrangePanel);
     //DontDestroyOnLoad(this.YellowPanel);
     //DontDestroyOnLoad(this.GreenPanel);
     //DontDestroyOnLoad(this.BluePanel);
     //DontDestroyOnLoad(this.PurplePanel);
     //DontDestroyOnLoad(this.PinkPanel);
     //DontDestroyOnLoad(this.GreyPanel);

 }
