Row color in ALV

Question

Hi all,
I am trying to display some selected rows in my report in a different color.
But its not working.
I have .....
i_gs_layout-info_fieldname = 'COLOR_LINE'.
my internal table to be displayed is...
DATA: BEGIN OF T_DISPLAY OCCURS 0,
           MATNR              TYPE MARA-MATNR,
           LOSMENGE       TYPE QALS-LOSMENGE,
           SLMENGE         TYPE MSEG-MENGE,
           SL_PPM            TYPE P DECIMALS 2,
           COLOR_LINE(4) TYPE C,
           END OF T_DISPLAY.
On some conditions I am filling the field COLOR_LINE with 'C610'.
The following function module is used for display.
  CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
    EXPORTING
      i_callback_program             = i_g_repid
      i_callback_user_command  = ''
      i_callback_pf_status_set     = ''
      i_grid_title                          = l_title
      is_layout                           = i_gs_layout
      it_events                           = i_gt_events[]
      it_fieldcat                          = i_gt_fieldcat[]
      it_sort                               = i_gt_sort[]
      i_save                               = 'A'
    TABLES
      t_outtab                            = T_DISPLAY.
Here everything is working fine except the color.
Eventhough I have the value C610 in my internal table in most of the rows, no row is getting displayed in this color.
Should I use some other function module or am I missing something in this code..?
