Drawing Board

A painter has a `10 times 10` grid. Each time, the painter chooses a row or column and paints it entirely with a color of their choice.
If they pass over a square that has already been painted with a new color, the new color completely covers the old color,
that is, the color of the square changes.
What is the largest number of colors we can see on this board?
