Tommy,
you can not mix DYNAMIC* Propertys with normal ones.

A DYNAMIC* Propertie will evaluated by the grid over. So you put a string that evaluates in it. This evaluation results in a number from RGB(). DISABLED*COLOR evaluates nothing - it's a static property. That's your typemismatch - you cannot put a string in it. Just a number.

So for just "look" DISABLED it will work with DYNAMICBACKCOLOR.

If you want to disable the cell it get's more tricky.
