    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(sb);
    HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);

    grdsap.RenderControl(hw);
    return sb.ToString().Replace("<br />", "\n");

    mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
    mail.To.Add(mailid);
}

Probably you want the coloring to be done trough CSS. If the email hits the receiver it needs to be able to load the correct CSS settings.

You could try to put the CSS inline with your markup or you need to put your CSS file on a public location and have a full path in your email HTML.
