Solution 1

A column does not have a value. You need to read the value of the cell on the row you're interested in, and change that cell's colour.

C#

DataGridViewCell cell = this.dataGridView2.Rows[THE_ROW_INDEX].Cells["Status"];
if (cell.Value == "2")
{
    cell.Style.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
}

Solution 3

Try this for column:

C#

dataGridView2.Columns["Status"].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Yellow;

or this for cell:

C#

if (dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Value == "2")
        dataGridView2.Rows[0].Cells[0].Style.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
