How to get GridView's LinkButton ForeColor in RowCommand Event?

Question

I have a GridView with the following columns.

 <Columns>
     <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Item Description">
     <ItemTemplate>
     <asp:Label ID="lblgvItemName" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("ItemName") %>'></asp:Label>
     </ItemTemplate>
     </asp:TemplateField>
    <asp:BoundField DataField="IssueQty" HeaderText="Issue Qty" />
    <asp:TemplateField>
    <ItemTemplate>
       <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkReturn" runat="server" CommandName="Return" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("ItemName") + "," + Eval("IssueQty") + %>' Text="Return" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="Red">
       </asp:LinkButton>
    </ItemTemplate>
 </Columns>

In that I need the get the ForeColor of the LinkButton in the RowCommand event of the GridView. Based on the ForeColor, I am doing some validation.

I tried like this,

 string Color = ((LinkButton)gvRIVDetails.Rows[Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument.ToString()].FindControl("lnkReturn")).ForeColor;

But I have already specified ItemName and IssueQty in the Command Argument. So it throws the exception. How to find the ForeColor of the LinkButton?

This will help you. Please take look.

            GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)((Control)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer;

        LinkButton lstText = (LinkButton)row.FindControl("lnkReturn");

        string text = lstText.ForeColor.ToString();
