In GridView BackColor='<# System.Drawing.Color.FromName(Eval("item_color").ToString())%>'

Define "not working". The only obvious problem with your code is the inconsistent naming in your lambda expression:

modelItem => System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml(item.color)

This should either be item => ... or ...FromHtml(modelItem.color). Also, is it item.color or item.Color? In C#, the case matters.
