The short answer is that TListView doesn't provide for changing the color of
the grid lines.
The medium answer is that you'll have to owner-draw the grid and render the
lines yourself manually, then you can color them anyway you want..
The long answer is that you'll have to use the On...Draw events. TListItem
has a DisplayRect() method that you can use to calculate the TRect for each
item. Then you can extend that TRect an extra pixel or two on each side,
then use the Canvas's Rectangle() method to draw the grid lines surrounding
each list item.

Again, you'll have to owner-draw the ListView and custom-draw the text on a
per-item basis, manipulating the Canvas so that different text is drawn with
diffrerent colors as needed.
