Why do you want to have a different color for each row selected.when you can change just the color of the selected rows?

because the different color will give different meaning to the value that is in the datagrid. (its bit complicated to explain why, but simply i need that)

Definitely you can do this.

Just track CellEnter event of datagridview and check if the row is selected or not. If row is selected then change rows color by using following article.
