You can customize the appearance of the header and content of a particular column using the customAttributes property.

To customize the grid column, follow the given steps:

Step 1:

Create a CSS class with custom style to override the default style for rowcell and headercell.

.e-grid .e-rowcell.customcss{
    background-color: #ecedee;
    color: 'red';
    font-family: 'Bell MT';
    font-size: 20px;
}

.e-grid .e-headercell.customcss{
    background-color: #2382c3;
    color: white;
    font-family: 'Bell MT';
    font-size: 20px;
}

Step 2:

Add the custom CSS class to the specified column by using the customAttributes property.

<e-grid-column field="Freight" headerText="Freight" width="150"  customAttributes=@(new { @class="customcss" } )></e-grid-column>
