This works without creating or calling multiple subs or functions. Seems to work for every instance I need it to.

Do While myDataReader.Read()

    PAR = myDataReader.Item("PAR").ToString()
    Returned = myDataReader.Item("RETURNED_AMOUNT")
    Taken = myDataReader.Item("TAKEN_AMOUNT")
    OnHand = ((PAR + Returned) - Taken)

    RI = DataGridViewItemList.Rows.Count - 1
    If OnHand <= (PAR / 2) Then
        DataGridViewItemList.Rows(RI).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.DarkSalmon
    Else
        DataGridViewItemList.Rows(RI).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Nothing
    End If
Loop
