When I use \cellcolor[gray]{0.9} to color a cell (in a table) and convert to .pdf, the left and top borders of the cell, which were black get erased. How could I fix this problem. Thanks!

you can also use \columncolor{red} for example. For some reason the color model of RGB does not work (enabling values of 0-255) and it also breaks the printing of cells in a multirow cell. In other words yet more latex hack and pain. I could never have believed something so painfully necessary as colored columnds and rows could be implemented so painfully. In addition, the comments about latex separating content from presentation are ludicrous : its one of the most presentation orientated content management forums I have ever seen.

hi,

thax for posting. exactly what i was looking for.

can you add an explanation how the rgb code works? must be a value between 0 and 1. i only found either hex or decimal numbers as reverences to the color. how do i get the right number for a specific color, if i got the hex number or decimal number?

cheers

Hello,
nice tips, thanks. Would you know how we can change the color of the borders of a table in LaTeX? Have you tried this before?

thanks
