ASP GridView Color Only Date In Table Cell Text?

I have a GridView with cells containing both Text and Date.
I would like to color only the Date as blue.
Can this be done?
I'm open to JQuery solution too.

Solution:
   The html color tag is in the database table and could not render properly unless the Gridview uses HtmlDecode per/row. This is problem when AutoGenerateColumns="true"

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
 {
     if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
     {
           int cols = GridView1.Columns.Count + 1;          

         for (int i = 7; i < cols; i++)
         {
             e.Row.Cells[i].Text = Server.HtmlDecode(e.Row.Cells[i].Text);
         }
      }
 }

How does your GV markup look like?
You can use Template field and use a Label to display the Date. Set the color for the label accordingly.

It's a dynamically created Gridview. I'll get some code posted.

Is the date always in it's own column?

I got to work this way since its dynamically rendered. Would be nice to replace the 'For' iteration with a 'Foreach' if possible. It will fail if the columns count changes.

     {
         for (int i = 7; i < 22; i++)
         {
             e.Row.Cells[i].Text = Server.HtmlDecode(e.Row.Cells[i].Text);
         }
      }
 }
