Lost.

You can do it like the next sample:
procedure TForm1.DBGrid1DrawColumnCell(Sender: TObject; const Rect: TRect;
  DataCol: Integer; Column: TColumn; State: TGridDrawState);
begin
        if Table.FieldByName( 'Type' ).Value > 0 then
           if gdSelected in State then
              (Sender as TDBGrid).Canvas.Font.Color := clYellow
             else
              (Sender as TDBGrid).Canvas.Font.Color := clBlue
          else
           if gdSelected in State then
              (Sender as TDBGrid).Canvas.Font.Color := clWhite
             else
              (Sender as TDBGrid).Canvas.Font.Color := clBlack;
        DefaultDrawColumnCell( Rect, DataCol, Column, State );
end;
