Unable to trigger change event when dropdown is autoselected in Angular

Question

In my code below, onColorChanged is not triggered when the selection gets updated programatically. It does trigger when I go to UI and select the color from the dropdown. Not sure what is going on.

          <div class="card border-0">
                <div class="card-body">
                    <label for="color">
                            <b>Color</b>
                    </label>
                    <select class="form-control" ng-init=null id="colorList" aria-describedby="colorList" *ngIf="myColorList$"
                        [(ngModel)]="selectedColor" (change)="onColorChanged(selectedColor)">
                        <option *ngFor="let c of myColorList$ | async" [ngValue]="c">{{c}}</option>
                    </select>
                </div>
            </div>

Pass name attribute to the select tag. Cover select tag in form element.

    <form name="colorForm">

        <select class="form-control" id="colorList" name="myColor" [(ngModel)]="selectedColor" (change)="onColorChanged(selectedColor)"> 
<option *ngFor="let c of myColorList$ | async" [ngValue]="c">{{c}}</option>
 </select>
</form>
