Solution 1

Handle the RowPrePaint[^] event, and set the colour there.
The easiest way to decide what colour would be to use the underlying data, and get the count from there.

The property of System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCell.Style is read/write:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridviewcell.style%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^],
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridviewcellstyle(v=vs.110).aspx[^].

So, you can always modify the style of any cell at any time, or do so for the whole row of cells.

For the whole row, you can use the property System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewColumn.DefaultCellStyle:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridviewcolumn.defaultcellstyle(v=vs.110).aspx[^],
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridviewcolumn%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].
