Sorry, but that doesn't make a lot of sense.
Could you try explaining in more detail what you are trying to achieve?
It may be worth your using short words in you native language, and translating via Google Translate.
Please edit your question and give more information!

Hello

Try this:

this.dataGridView1.EnableHeadersVisualStyles = false;

DataGridViewTextBoxColumn col5 = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
col5.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Yellow; col5.HeaderCell.Style.Font = new Font("Arial", 8, FontStyle.Bold);
col5.HeaderCell.Style.BackColor = Color.Yellow;

Ah! That makes a bit more sense!
Set an individual Cell colour:

C#

myDataGridView[col, row].Style.BackColor = Color.Red;

To set the header background colour:

C#

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

Setting EnableHeadersVisualStyles to false will cause other changes which you will have to override manually - you will see what I mean when you set it - it's up to you whether it is worth the effort! Basically, in order to change the colour, you have to take display control away and do it all yourself...
