Color coding cells in datagridview based on cell value

Question

I'm creating a daily planner, in which tasks are entered into a datagridview as follows:

Tasks also have a priority set by the user, as seen above.

I'm trying to achieve the following, however, I'm not sure how to code this:

If the priority is set to "High" then the cell in which the priority is displayed will change its color to red.

If the priority is set to "Medium" then the cell in which the priority is displayed will change its color to yellow.

If the priority is set to "Low" then the cell in which the priority is displayed will change its color to green.

How would I go about achieving such a feature?

Try this:

For each row As DataGridViewRow In Datagridview1
   If row.Cells(3).Text.Trim  = "High" Then
        row.Cells(3).Style.Backcolor = Color.Red
   Else If row.Cells(3).Text.Trim  = "Low" Then
       ...
   Else If row.Cells(3).Text.Trim = "Medium" Then
      ...
   End If
Next
