You have to do it in a big long, (ugly) iif() statement in the init of the grid. I only have two colors besides the normal and it looks like this:

THIS.SETALL("DynamicBackColor", ;
  "IIF(alltrim(nxtact_st) == '0', IIF(dte_nxtact - loData.dredactdate > 0, ;
  IIF(dte_nxtact - loData.dyellowactdate > 0, RGB(255,255,255), RGB(255,255,128)), ;
  RGB(255,0,128)), RGB(255, 255, 255))", "Column")  && red, yellow and normal rows
