I have tried manipulating the DynamicBackColor (bases on the examples in the KB and sample files) of the first two columns in the Init of the Grid as well as the in the When. What is the secret that I have missed. I know it has got to be simple!

Robert,
If the first 2 columns would always display in gray then it has nothing to do with DynamicBackColor (you could do with that but unnecessarily would be evaluated for every visible cell in column for each refresh).
Just edit your grid and set the first 2 'column' backcolor.
