ASP.NET: How to change color of certain texts in a gridview?

Question

I have a gridview that displays data from a DB... Currently I can only change colors of all the texts in a cell, but what I need to do is to change the color of certain texts only. Is there a way to do this? Is this possible? Im just a newbie so please be patient with me..

This is my function for changing color of texts in cells:

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)  
{  
    if (_SearchKey != string.Empty)  
    {  
        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)  
        {  
            for (int ctr = 0; ctr < e.Row.Cells.Count; ctr++)  
            {  
                if (e.Row.Cells[ctr].Text.ToLower().Contains(_SearchKey.ToLower()))  
                {  
                    e.Row.Cells[ctr].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;  
                }  
            }  
        }  
    }  
}
