Hiren, I suspect the OP doesn't know that 1 and 2 are down-votes (he down-voted my answer too). :)
Your answer is very good, have a 5 for compensation. :)

Solution 2

You can use the Style[^] property of DataGridViewCell class. Here is a quick example:

C#

// Set the background color of specified cell 
theDataGridView.Rows[i].Cells[j].Style.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

[UPDATE - after OP comment]
If you need to change the color of cell, dynamically, based on its value you can use DataGridView.CellFormatting Event[^] (the answer from Hiren contains a link to similar approach). The example from the documentation page shows how to change the background color of a cell, based on the string entered in it. It should not be a problem to use similar approach in your case. If there are some problems, please let me know.

Dear OP,

Can you tell me please, what was so wrong with my answer?
You asked how to change the color of a specific sell and I gave you a concrete example.
If this is not helpful for you at least leave a comment so I'll improve my answer.

Thank you
