MS Dynamics CRM - Change Grid view background color

My client wants to change the grid view color based on the contact entity address type value is "Ship To". So i added a button in the contact entity "<ribbondiffxml>", but i didn't make it display, you can see there is no command in the "<displayrules>". I added new <customrule> to call the javascript("dns_contact") function ("BackGroundColorGrid") to change the color. Make sure you added jquery in your webresources.

Same way you can change color for the grid.
