ah but that would require me to know the column header name. Is there a way to do it dynamically?

Hello Duy,

Please try the following approach:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        foreach (TableCell cell in e.Item.Cells)
        {
            int value;
            if (int.TryParse(cell.Text, out value))
                cell.Style["color"] = value < 0 ? "red" : "blue";
        }
    }
}
