Example very, very easy on the use of the dialog box to select colors in visual basic. Net.

We just need a form, a button and a ColorDialog component for this example. and in the click event of BotCon copy the following code: 

 Then if ColorDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK
       Me.BackColor = ColorDialog1.Color
 End If

The result is shown in the image below.

      Try this:

      Me.dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Beige
      or siquieres do this alone in a cell:
      Me.dataGridView1.Rows (3). DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Beige
