I have a normal page where I want to display a dropdown list where users can select a profile option (say favourite colour) so that will be saved to their profile.
This option can exist in profile as well - it won't appear during registration.
Yes, that's possible using CB Core Fields Ajax then by rendering the formatted HTML output of a field via a substitution. Example substitution as follows.
There's nothing more to it beyond ensuring the field has ajax editing enabled in CB Core Fields Ajax. This can be used anywhere CB substitutions are supported. So for example in a Joomla article using CB Content Bot or in CB Content Module.

In my situation members will not yet have a value for this new field. This means that what you see is just empty space.
One of the options of the single select dropdown is None with value empty but it is still showing blank rather than None.
The blank value label doesn't display on profile. It's just a means of changing the empty value label to something other than nothing. Empty fields on profile will always display "Empty Field Text" as configured in CB > Configuration > User Profile. CB Core Fields Ajax extends this a little further and lets you specify a per-field placeholder using the "Placeholder" parameter under Integrations > CB Core Fields Ajax. So for example if you want it to say None instead of the dash set the placeholder to "None".
