10000000 isn't a valid color uint, try 0x000000 or "#000000". Setting the background color of an itemRenderer in this way, will probably not give you the desired result; since the itemRenderers are recycled. You're better off over-riding the set data or updataDisplayList functions, in the itemRenderer itself. Here's an article by Peter Ent <http://weblogs.macromedia.com/pent/archives/2007/02/coloring_the_ba.htm\ l> , that has a lot of DataGrid background color info.
