Strings with different Styles in a Grid

Here is a Grid of strings, with some strings having different styles.

Grid[{{Style["aa", Red, Bold], Style["bb", Green]}, {"cc", "dd"}}]

The "cc" string should be output with the first "c" in the color Blue and 
in Bold, the second "c" should be in the color Red.

How does one "break apart" the "cc" string to give each "c" a different style
while still maintaining it as a single item for the Grid function?

Something like this, which is very intuitive, simply doesn't work

Grid[{{Style["aa", Red, Bold], Style["bb", Green]},
  {{Style["c", Blue, Bold], Style["c", Red]}, "dd"}}]


And this, doesn't work either  ... 

Grid[{{Style["aa", Red, Bold], Style["bb", Green]},
  {StringJoin[Style["c", Blue, Bold], Style["c", Red]], "dd"}}]

Thank you in advance.

Don
