If you are trying to point out there are less than 5 columns,
Try to itterate through the rows and cells of the datagridview,

C#

foreach (DataGridViewRow r in dataGridView1.Rows)
           {
               if (r.Cells.Count <= 5)
               {
                   foreach (DataGridViewCell c in r.Cells)
                   {
                       if (c.OwningColumn.HeaderText == "The text of the header")
                       {
                           c.OwningColumn.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Red;
                       }
                   }
               }
           }

If you are sure the value of the cell is a number
you can try this.

C#

DataGridViewCellStyle cs = new DataGridViewCellStyle();
           cs.BackColor = Color.LightBlue;
           foreach (DataGridViewRow r in dataGridView1.Rows)
           {
                   foreach (DataGridViewCell c in r.Cells)
                   {
                       int i = int.Parse(c.Value.ToString());
                       if (i <= 6)
                       {
                           c.Style = cs;
                       }
                   }
               }
           }
