background colour for table header

[MJ]

I'm new to Confluence. I love how I can copy and paste a table from a Numbers file into confluence at it keeps the formatting:

However, when I add a new column, the cell at the top gets a white background, and there doesn't seem to be a way to get the colour to match.

The closest colour is grey which looks odd next to the others:

Any suggestions? Can I either force the new column to have the same formatting as the existing ones when created, or manually apply the existing colour to the new cell?

Hi MJ,

One of my colleagues who was unaware of this issue in Confluence cloud managed to get the colours she wanted by copying the text in a table cell in Word with the correct background colour and pasting it into the table cell in Confluence.

I was amazed as I had resigned myself to the rather insipid colour pallet available. I will be using this hack from now on.

Huzzah!

thanks!

Hi @MJ,

Welcome to Atlassian community!

I'm afraid this can't be done. The background color in the table header can be changed using CSS, but this change is restricted for Confluence Cloud.
