Is this WPF? If so, you can use a converter for the BackColor property implementing this logic.

Currently you are setting the color for the DataGridView to red.

If you just want a specific row you have to set the color for this row.
Just like this:

C#

myrow.defaultcellstyle.forecolor="Color.Red";

BTW. just to improve your code a bit, why do you set a outside of the loop?

This would be better i guess

C#

string a = dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[2].Value.ToString();
                foreach (DataGridViewRow Myrow in dataGridView1.Rows)
                {
                    if (Myrow.Cells[2].Value.ToString() == "Luzon")//"))//Columns.Contains("SOLD"))//Columns.Contains("SOLD"))
                    {
                        Myrow.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Red;                      
                    }
                }

Even better would be to use to Columns name instead of the 2 in this :)
like Myrow.Cells["NameOfColumn"].Value
