The OP wanted to change the backcolor not the font

Solution 3

DataGridViewCellStyle headerStyle = new DataGridViewCellStyle
{
BackColor = Color.LightBlue,
// Other style properties can be set here
};

foreach (DataGridViewColumn column in dataGridView1.Columns)
{
column.HeaderCell.Style.ApplyStyle(headerStyle);
}

Try this:

C#

myDataGridView.EnableHeadersVisualStyles = false;
myDataGridView.Columns[col].HeaderCell.Style.BackColor = Color.Green;

VB.NET

myDataGridView.EnableHeadersVisualStyles = False
myDataGridView.Columns[col].HeaderCell.Style.BackColor = Color.Green
