Instead of using SelectedRows property of the DataGridview you can use as follows

dataGridView1.Rows[1].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Red;

Because SelectedRows property will return rows when row(s) has been selected by the User only, if no rows are selected then your code will throw exception.

EDIT :

For your doubt here am providing a sample code, hope it will help you.

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
 {
   if (dataGridView1.Rows.Count > i)
    {
      if (i == 1)
         dataGridView1.Rows[i].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Red;
      else if (i == 2)
         dataGridView1.Rows[i].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Blue;
      else
         dataGridView1.Rows[i].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Green;
     }
 }

You may handle different events of your datagrid and set cell style

Here is example from related question

private void dgvStatus_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.ColumnIndex != color.Index)
        return;

    e.CellStyle.BackColor = Color.Red;
}
