foreach (DataGridViewRow row in DataGridViewRow1.Rows)
{
                var now = DateTime.Now;
                var cellDate = DateTime.Parse(row.Cells[14].Value.ToString());
                var forTenDays = now.AddDays(+10);

                if (now > cellDate)
                {
                    row.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Red;
                }
                else if ((now < cellDate) && (cellDate < forTenDays))
                {
                    row.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
                }
