Rails - Feb 2008 - change drop down list to radio buttons

In my RoR app I would like to change a drop down list, which dispays a
list of colors selected from the database. Instead I would like to
create a radio button for each color. The user is allowed to check one
color and this will be saved back into the database as the color for
this user.
I don''t know how to do this. Currently it looks like this:

 <%= select(:user, :color_id, Color.find(:all).collect {|c| [ c.name,
c.id ] }, { :include_blank => false })%>

Color.find(:all).each do |color|
  <%= select :user, :color_id, color.id, :style=>"background:
##{color.rgb_value};" %>
end

Okay, the style part is not really required but it might make for an
interesting way for your users to select their color -- they''d see it
displayed on the UI.
