The datagrid object has no direct property for changing the color of a
column, but changing color of a cell or a column (in fact all the
cells of a column) is possible.

Here is an experiment demonstrating how to change the color of a cell,
a column and a column header:

go url "http://www.aslugontheroad.co.cc/index.php?option=com_phocadownload&view=category&download=20:experiment-020-change-colors-of-columns-and-cells&id=7:data-grid&Itemid=63"

As pointed out by Bob, this possible solution works only if the
datagrid has data.
