Changing datagridview cell color dynamically

Question

I have a dataGridView object that is populated with data  I want to click a button and have it change the color of the background of the cell  This is what I currently have  foreach DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1 Rows        foreach DataGridViewColumn col in dataGridView1 Columns                      row Cells col Index  Style BackColor   Color Green    doesn t work               col Cells row Index  Style BackColor   Color Green    doesn t work         dataGridView1 col Index  row Index  Style BackColor   Color Green    doesn t work            ALL of these three cause the table to be redrawn over itself in an overlapping manner and trying to re-size the tables becomes a mess  when clicking on a cell  the value remains highlighted and the backcolor doesn t change    Q  How can I change the backcolor of an individual cell after the table exists

If you want every cell in the grid to have the same background color  you can just do this  dataGridView1 DefaultCellStyle BackColor   Color Green
