Do you mean like in Excel, Conditional formatting?

Yes

Can't you set the rowstyle on a "confirm" button click? set a const with the "selected row color", and assign it to the "selected rows"?

Use CellFormatting event.

Do something like this:

C#

private void CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e) {
    if (e.ColumnIndex = 0) {
        dgv.Rows(e.RowIndex).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.LightSkyBlue;
        dgv.Rows(e.RowIndex).DefaultCellStyle.SelectionBackColor = Color.SkyBlue;
    }
}

NOTE: you just need to format row style in one column, no need to repeat row formatting for each cell - if you need to format specific cell, ask for that particular column and format only that one (you need to add .Cells(e.ColumnIndex) after (e.rowindex).
