for (int i = 0; i < countriesCodes.Length; i++)
            {
                dataGridView1.ColumnCount = 2;
                dataGridView1.Columns[0].Name = "Status";
                dataGridView1.Columns[1].Name = "Country";
                var countryName = codeToFullNameMap[countriesCodes[i]];
                string[] row = new string[] { "Ready", countryName };
                dataGridView1.Rows.Add(row);
                DataGridViewLinkColumn dgvLink = new DataGridViewLinkColumn();
                dgvLink.UseColumnTextForLinkValue = true;
                dgvLink.LinkBehavior = LinkBehavior.SystemDefault;
                dgvLink.HeaderText = "Link Data";
                dgvLink.Name = "SiteName";
                dgvLink.LinkColor = Color.Blue;
                dgvLink.TrackVisitedState = true;
                dgvLink.Text = lines[i];
                dgvLink.UseColumnTextForLinkValue = true;
                dataGridView1.Columns.Add(dgvLink);
            }
            this.dataGridView1.Columns[2].AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.Fill;
            dataGridView1.EnableHeadersVisualStyles = false;
            dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionBackColor = dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor;
            dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionForeColor = dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor;

            dataGridView1.RowHeadersVisible = false;
            dataGridView1.AllowUserToAddRows = false;
            dataGridView1.BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control;

            dataGridView1.Columns[0].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Red;

```

The last line should color the cells under the first column:

```
dataGridView1.Columns[0].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Red;

```

If i change it to Columns[1](https://i.stack.imgur.com/VxN6m.jpg) it will color all cells in Red. But when it's Columns[0] the first cell under Status(in the screenshot) is still in black.

The word Ready the first word Ready under Status is in black. Can't figure out why it's not coloring it too. If i color the cells under Columns[1](https://i.stack.imgur.com/VxN6m.jpg) it will color all the cells but i want to color the those under Status in Columns[0]
