    There's no built-in support to allow the user to change the text colors, but you might be able to implement this using the FormattedText style on the column.

    It depends on a lot of factors, like the DataType of the column and whether or not it's a bound column. For FormattedText to work, the column would have to be a string, and highlighting the text would change the value of the cell, so you either have to save the highlighting along with the data or else create an unbound column to mirror the real data.

    And you would need to create your own UI for changing the colors and such and then alter the cell value accordingly.
