GridViewCell foreground

[Bhavin]

I want to change foreground color of a column STATUS cell value  in a grid such that if STATUS=Available then text should appear in Green else in Red.I applied the style ,while debugging Convert method is debuggung sucessfully reading correct value but doesn't show up on grid.

 <Converter:DocumentColorConverter  x:Key="ConvertDocumentColor" />

                                                                            <Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:GridViewCell}">
                                                                                <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{Binding [STATUS], Converter={StaticResource ConvertDocumentColor}}" />
                                                                            </Style>
 public class DocumentColorConverter : IValueConverter
    {

        #region IValueConverter Members

        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            System.Windows.Media.Brush returnValue;
            string controlType = "";
            if (value != null)
                controlType = value.ToString();

            switch (controlType)
            {
                case "Available":
                    returnValue = Brushes.Green;
                    break;
                case "UnAvailable":
                    returnValue = Brushes.Red;
                    break;
                default:
                    returnValue = Brushes.Black;
                    break;

            }

            return returnValue;
        }

        #endregion

        #region IValueConverter Members


        public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

        #endregion
    }
