How can I style the headers of a Grid column when filtering is applied?

When the grid is filtered, the k-active class is applied to the filter menu. Use CSS nesting to style the header of the filtered column:

css

.k-header:has(.k-active) {
    background-color: #FFF0F5;

    .k-column-title {
        color: #191970;
    }
}

The following example demonstrates the suggested approach.
