Below is a form with a DGV. As can be seen, the background color for the column headers is white. I do not want them to be white. It is obvious to me that "
.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Wheat"
is not correct. I have attempted numerous other approaches with no better results. So exactly what can I do to get the background color of the header columns to be what I want them to be.


Code:
        With dgvSignList
            .Enabled = False
            .BackgroundColor = Color.Tan
            .EnableHeadersVisualStyles = True
            .ColumnHeadersVisible = True
            .BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None
            'Headers
            .ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.Font = New Font("Times New Roman", 11, FontStyle.Bold)
            .ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleCenter
            .ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Wheat
            'Cells
            .DefaultCellStyle.Font = New Font("Times New Roman", 11, FontStyle.Regular)
            .DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Black
            .DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.AntiqueWhite
            .DefaultCellStyle.SelectionBackColor = Color.AntiqueWhite
            .DefaultCellStyle.SelectionForeColor = Color.Black
            .DefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleLeft
        End With
