How to set Backgroundcolor of the DatagridTextColumn.Header based on the property IsReadOnly of the DatagridTextColumn

I am working with WPF (C#, MVVM) with a DataGridTextColumn. I want to style the background of the Header of each Column based on its IsReadOnly property. I want to use a DataTrigger, but I don't know how to set the source property. I can give each DataGridTextColumn Header its own style, but I want one style for all Textcolumns.
As the user can edit the content of a Column (IsReadOnly = "False") than the background of the ColumnHeader has to be set to Dark Blue.

<Style x:Key="EditableHeaderStyle" TargetType = "DataGridColumnHeader">
  <Setter Property="Background" Value = "Light Blue"/>
  <Style.Triggers>
    <DataTrigger Binding="?**Source**... , Path= IsReadOnly" Value="True">
      <Setter Property="Bacground" Value="Purple"/>
    </DataTrigger>
    <DataTrigger Binding="?**Source**...., Path=IsReadOnly" Value="False">
      <Sette Property="Background" Value="Dark Blue"/>
    </DataTrigger>
   </Style.Triggers>
 </Style>       

<DataGrid 
    Selectionunit = "FullRow"
    ItemSource = "{Binding Persons}">
  <DataGrid.Columns>
    <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Name}" IsReadOnly = "True"/>
  </DataGridClumns>
</DataGrid>

I have tried to set the Binding source to ElementName, that works, but still on one DataGridTextColumn. I want to set this to all the DataGridTextColumns within the DataGrid. The styling as a HeaderStyle to use it on any DataGrid in my application.

Please can someone explain how this can be done.

Bind to the IsReadOnly property of the Column property of the DataGridColumnHeader element itself like this:

<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Column.IsReadOnly, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" Value="True">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Purple"/>
</DataTrigger>

Since IsReadOnly property of DataGridTextColumn is set in xaml itself, you can check below code for your reference:

Style

    <Style x:Key="DataGridColumnHeaderStyle" TargetType = "DataGridColumnHeader">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value = "DarkBlue"/>
    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value = "Black"/>
    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value = "0.5"/>
    <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value = "Center"/>
    </Style>
    <Style x:Key="DataGridColumnHeaderReadOnlyStyle" BasedOn="{StaticResource DataGridColumnHeaderStyle}" TargetType ="DataGridColumnHeader">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value = "red"/>
    </Style>

Giving style to control

 <DataGrid Margin="{StaticResource ControlThickness}"  SelectionUnit = "FullRow">
    <DataGrid.Columns>
        <DataGridTextColumn IsReadOnly = "True" HeaderStyle="{StaticResource DataGridColumnHeaderReadOnlyStyle}" Header="H1" Width="40"/>
        <DataGridTextColumn IsReadOnly = "False" HeaderStyle="{StaticResource DataGridColumnHeaderStyle}" Header="H2"  Width="40"/>
        <DataGridTextColumn IsReadOnly = "True"  HeaderStyle="{StaticResource DataGridColumnHeaderReadOnlyStyle}" Header="H3" Width="40"/>
        <DataGridTextColumn IsReadOnly = "False" HeaderStyle="{StaticResource DataGridColumnHeaderStyle}" Header="H4" Width="40"/>
    </DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
